When I used in FPW 2.6:
DEFINE WINDOW bro at 12,2 SIZE WROW()-13,1.09*WCOL() noclose FLOAT =
NOZOOM GROW

I got a window with three pull-down options on the upper left corner:
Move Ctrl+F4
Size Ctrl+F8
Next Window Ctrl+F6

but in VFP 9 the same command just gives
Move (wihout CTRL)=20
Size (without CTRL)
and there is no "Next Window"


How come this different behaviour. How can I achieve my old FPW 2.6 =
behaviour?

The difference is because interfaces changed moving from Windows 3.x to
Win9x and later. FPW was written for the former, VFP was written for the
latter.

DEFINE WINDOW is a deprecated command, included for backward compatibility,
and rarely needed in VFP.
