Messagebox() with 4096/8192 vs Form's AlwaysOnTop

[torturedmind]

Dear All,

I encountered this just now. Here's the scenario. I have two forms - one being the parent which fills the entire screen and where the encoding takes place, and the other, a smaller one, where a grid resides to show the user some reference data. I set the smaller form's AlwaysOnTop property to .T. so the user can switch back and forth the two forms without closing the reference data form (smaller one). The problem is that, any MESSAGEBOXes are not shown if the smaller form is active or shown even if I add the parameter 4096 or 8192. I know the messagebox is active somewhere (probably behind all forms) as both forms loses focus and I cannot exit the app thru normal means. Any idea on how to go around this predicament?

TIA

I forgot to mention, my dev PC is Win 10 Pro with VFP9 SP2, if that matters.

Please disregard this query. It turned out the newer compiled app is stored somewhere and am still using the older version. Sorry for causing some commotion. I think I need to call it a day.

No need to apologise, Kilroy. These things happen to us all. But thanks for letting us know that you solved it.

We haven't seen you around here for a while. I hope you are sill enjoying your VFP work.

Mike

I tracked down a similar problem of code changes not applying even with a collegue developer looking over my shoulder and we even took a few days before realizing compilation should help. In my case the code was not an EXE but an APP, which was used in the nature of a library, ie NEWOBJECT("class","some.vcx","some.app") was used, but that's buried in some init routine. So it really happend and much worse than in your case even with four eyes looking at it.

Bye, Olaf.
