Restore windows all in VFP6 affecting child window

[travelspeed]

Hi Everyone.

Hope someone out there can answer my question.

I have the following code (shortened for easy viewing) in VFP6:

define window a
activate window a
define window b
activate window b
define window c in window b
activate window c
save windows all to c:\savewin
clear windows
restore windows all from c:\savewin

At this point the child window c is no longer shown in window b but has become a parent window displayed near the top of the main screen.

I have checked using wchild() and wparent() and found that all windows are now parents.

Why and how can I return the windows to their original state of a & b being a parent and c a child in window b?

Hopefully yours
Mike

Mike,
This is really FoxPro code, NOT VFP code. From the Hacker's Guide:

One of the mutant branches of the Xbase evolution toward windows management that died a fitting death along the way. Retained in Visual FoxPro for "backward compatibility."

You really need to change this procedure to use forms and save off the appropriate properties.
