Maybe try making Excel visible to see if it has problems.

// Create the object
oExcel := ExcelObj( )

oExcel:Visible := .t.

oExcel:WorkBooks:Add( )
oAS := oExcel:ActiveSheet( )

oAS:Cells:Font:Name := "Arial"
oAS:Cells:Font:Size := 12

I have several real old programs that were converted to (x)Harbour/XHB Add this to compile/link [C:\xHB\Samples\GT_wvg.prg] Link in [C:\xHB\Lib\WVG.lib] so you can use mouse and graphic fonts. Then I add this to emulate dos screen with mouse.      SET EVENTMASK TO INKEY_ALL    Wvt_SetCodePage(511)  ...

Maybe add oBC1:oJump := oBC1 to valid     REDEFINE GET oBC1 VAR cBarCode  ID 200 OF oBCdlg1 UPDATE ;         VALID ( AADD( aBrowseCodes, cBarCode),;         oLbc1:update(),;         cBarCode := SPACE(30),;         oBCdlg1:update(), ;         oBC1:oJump := oBC1,;  // This might work here         .t.)...

Oh well.

Is there something about changing the size of the dialog you think will fix the escape key problem?
You keep referring to setsize() as the fix but I don't see where that relates to my problem, unless i am missing something.

Sure but you cannot use escape key to close window.
I was just hoping that there was a fix for the escape key problem.

That did not work at all. In the sample testmdi4.prg there was code after the activate dialog that sizes the window to match the dialog. Still the escape problem persists. I have included the full modified testmdi4.prg You will need the testmdi4.rc from the samples folder to run. If you press the es...

i will try that but how does that relate to problem pressing escape key?

I am having trouble fixing a problem when a user presses escape key on a MDI child window with dialog. Either the dialog box closes and leaves and empty MDI child or I have problems with valid or disappearing menu. I went back to basics and looked at sample testmdi4.prg I found another reference in ...
