1. more window help
I launch a program from an EU menu program (one I wrote) and the 2nd program
creates a window in which to run and display stuff in the status bar as it
runs . The problem I have is that if I session away (click to another
program on the task bar), I can never get back to the window. It does not
show up on the task bar... here's the window.. what have I done wrong....
display = create(Window,pgmNm & " - " & pgmTitle,
0,sx,sy,sw,sh,{WS_CAPTION,WS_POPUP})

Don't know George, it works for me just fine. How are you launching this
program?

Derek, here's the statements which launch the 2nd program from the first..
temp = system_exec ("exw.exe "&subIndex[i]&".exw",2)
if temp!= 0 then
temp = message_box("Execution error - program not
found","",0)

4. Re: more window help
Well, this morning this 2nd window does show up on the task bar, so there
apparently is no real problem with this. A reboot apparently fixed the
problem...I now remember that I was having some problem with blank taskbar
items I thought was caused by our font bug. Perhaps it also can lose the
button as well.

That is a "feature" of the Win 9x family. I get it occassionally, even when
never running a win32lib app since booting.
