Just a note: there is a bug (bug number 307163) related to Set_Window_Property, the main symptom of which is that a maximized form calling another maximized form RETURNS TO NORMAL SIZE (un-maximized) when the called form exits and returns back to the calling form. I have also seen multi-block calling forms get "chopped" (entire left side disappears) as a symptom of this bug. I have been told that the bug will be fixed in Forms 4.5.7 which will be out soon (late March) for Windows.
