Gentlemen,
Thank you all for your assistance, it is much appreciated.

I have used Rashad's solution because, most conveniently I already had the necessary callback procedure and flag in place (and the right way up!).

The solution ...

Good morning all,
My application allows the user to scroll around data in a ListIconGadget to select an area.
The user then presses a 'Go' button. At that point I need to lock the grid in position while some other processes happen.

It then uses RunProgram() to launch the module and the module and main program then proceed to exchange imported data via an area of ...

I have pensioned off my aging Windows 7 PC and moved to a newer machine that includes a rather small but very fast solid state drive for OS, programs and related storage. This disk is C:

I have a 1TB drive (D:) for files and data and assigned my Documents, Music etc to this drive.

Good Morning All,
@Oma
Thank you for your comments, I have included your kind suggestions in the most recent version.

Hi,
I used the code by RichAlgeni (with my name and account details etc) and it worked first go. Good!
But... when I added a 'cc' and a 'jpg' or 'PDF' attachment the email body text disappears, just the attachment shows in ThunderBird.
Any idea what I'm likely to be doing wrong?
