RE: What bone-head thing did I miss this time? - Pete - 10-29-2022 @bplus You're welcome, anytime! @Spriggsy I tried your method, and yep, it works the same as mine, only yours takes advantage of using QB64 keywords to do what the API calls do. So I think what we have here is a situation where Windows never accounted for another window transferring control to another window. In other words the developers expect users to click a window to activate it. What bugs me is that the developers coded the system to activate a window that is moving from the task bar back to the desktop. That means there must be some command to activate it after it gets restored.I would think that would be available for use as API users, but so far, I can't figure out if I'm missing something or if such a command was simply not made public. Thanks for having a look. Yep, great minds think alike alright, which means Bill's in real trouble!

I remember somewhere, sometime we discussed how to keep a Window on top but danged if I could find the code. Keeping a window on top isn't that hard in Windows. Code: (Select All) 'public domain Edit: I keep posting twice for the same thing?? RE: What bone-head thing did I miss this time? - bplus - 10-29-2022 OK that looks good too, all those constants will hint at further API abilities plus a 3rd code to lose! Thanks to all 3 API pros! |
