Great example Franco

only one thing: why make the window visible but out of the screen?
i think the is some way to work around this making a hidden window

Yes Ricardo, after creating the window I forgot this command:

showwindow_(windowid(),0)

I like to put invisible windows outside the desktop, but you have right it is not necessary.
