Dear All,
I am using VFP6, I defined a form which show it as top level form, my main
program as follow;
_screen.visible = .f.
do form pos
read event

the form pos did show up at the desktop, but not the current window of the
desktop, until I clicked on it. I want to show the pos at the desktop and
also make it the current window of the desktop. my application assume that
the user do not need to use the mouse in most of the case. Thanks.

What I do is set the object I want to have focus on the form in the init of
the form. Then if you switch the order of your commands around it works.

DO FORM pos
_Screen.Visible = .f.
READ EVENT

Cheers
Jay
