SetActiveWindow() applying to ALL windows

[Primus]

I discovered a simple way to set focus on a window, even if other programs have focus. As you know, the SetActiveWindow() function doesn't work in this situation.

Code: Select all

Procedure SetActiveWindowAdvanced(WindowNumber)
  StickyWindow(WindowNumber,1)
  StickyWindow(WindowNumber,0)
EndProcedure

Maybe this method has been mentioned before and I just didn't find it, but who cares.

Enjoy!

You have misunderstood the PB Funktion.

Code: Select all

SetActiveWindow() <> SetForegroundWindow_()

But thx for the nice tipp.

Thanks for the tip.
Question?
How do we know the API commands used behind the native PB commands?
For example:

Code: Select all

; Windows XP or greater...
SetActiveWindow(#Window) <> SetForegroundWindow_(hWnd)
HideWindow(#Window,0)    =  ?
; etc...

Maybe you should call the procedure SetForegroundWindow() instead. Makes more sense. And thanks for the tip. I have no need for it now, but it is always good to know!
