Unhide window and make it active

[yabune]

Hi,

I have an application with only a systray icon, and when I click on the icon, a window should unhide.

I'm using this code to achieve that:

Code: Select all

  HideWindow(#WINDOW_1, 0)
  SetActiveWindow(#WINDOW_1)
  SetActiveGadget(#G_1)

Most of the times this works, but sometimes the window shows up minimized, I have to click on the window in the taskbar to open it.

Any tips on this? Why doesn't open always active?

Thank you!

Do you use Threads? I encountered this issue sometimes if I open windows in threads. The window is opened but not shown. Its only visible in the taskbar. A setactivewindow() does not work for me in this moment. It activates the window but does not bring it up. Also a SetForegoundWindow_() Call does not solve it.

Yes, I'm using threads. But I'm not opening the window inside the thread. The thread is running but I'm opening when there's a hotkey pressed, it's an event in the main loop of the application.

I tried Kwaï chang caïne tip and it's working now!
Thanks Kwaï!

I'm using this to show the window:

Code: Select all

  HideWindow(#WINDOW_1, 0)
  SetActiveWindow(#WINDOW_1)
  SendMessage_(WindowID(#WINDOW_1),#SW_SHOWNORMAL,0,0) 
  ShowWindow_(WindowID(#WINDOW_1),#SW_RESTORE) 
  ShowWindow_(WindowID(#WINDOW_1),#SW_SHOW) 
  SetForegroundWindow_(WindowID(#WINDOW_1))
