This code attempts to make the VFP window the parent window for the Windows Calculator.
 
#DEFINE SW_SHOWNORMAL  1
DO declare
 
LOCAL hCalc
 
DO WHILE .T.
    hCalc = FindWindow(NULL, "Calculator")
    IF hCalc = 0

* Change the parent window for the calculator.
* As you can see, normally this is the Windows Desktop

My comment:
The parent window for the Windows calculator is usually the Windows Desktop. Changing it to the _screen.HWND makes the calculator confined inside the main VFP window.

SciCalc is the window class for the Calculator.
