I know but _VFP.Objects is a collection object so I thought I should be able to an item to the collection ...

Seems impossible, _VFP does not have an .AddObject() method (while _screen has).

Thanks

You can _VFP.AddProperty, and the property can be an object. Will that work?

I use this strategy when implementing FoxTypes https://github.com/eselje/FoxTypes/, which keeps the object around even if CLEAR ALL is issued. I don't use _Screen mostly because that doesn't make logical sense to me.

Or, more technically: _VFP references the core engine, _screen references the visual existance. You can add objects to _screen, and these reflect then as changes in _VFP. The object collection in _VFP is dynamically rebuilt everytime a change happen, thus it wouldn't make any sense to add something at that low level.

I think you must be mistaken ... I tried that with _VFP.AddProperty("Test",2) and got an OLE error code 0x80020006 Unknown name

Paul, you got it wrong. And you should have noticed it by your own: Intellisense doesn't show a native Addproperty Method inside of _vfp. AddProperty is a regular Function:

ADDPROPERTY(_vfp, "test", 2)

This will work, but as I mentioned before: _VFP a score engine doesn't expect to get messed with, therefor the _VFP intellisense doesn't show that new member, but it stil is accessible.

Yes, sorry, thanks for correcting that. I do it all the time and yet still don't get the syntax right. ;)
