What I do is

Case _MFEvent  // or whatever that one is
Select Case ID

Case _MFSuspend
gInFront = _False
Cursor _ArrowCursor // good idea just in case
Case _MFResume
gInFront = _True
End Select

Then key any cursor changes or other actions in an event loop to only work
when gInFront = _True.

I was, in one program before I realized it, changing the cursor even when
in the background. Not cool. :)

Seems to me you can do whatever you want when in the background, as long as
you leave time for the other apps of course.
