Suggest a Control...

Question

Hi,

    I'm in need of using calculator extensively in my application. Built on VFP 6.0.

 I tried with the following code

 

   Activate window calculator

.

.

.

THen I Tried

   

   Activate window calculator noshow

   Show window calculator in window <wname>

.

.

.   But the calculator doesn't pop-up..... But If i close the application, I find the calcultor active in Foxpro Desktop... I guessed the reason as I have set the desktop property of the mainform[top-level form] as .T.

 

    Please suggest me a way to do this.... or I've seen text-box controls with built-in calculators (just the one in MS Money...). Hot to implement that ....? Or is it available as ActiveX control.....?

 

Thanks in Advance
