Setting focus to an external application

I have contained in a listbox the Window's caption, the class name for
the window, and the hWND of the window.

Is there a way, using the data from above, to activate/set focus to that
window?

It was no joke!!

Then maybe it is a big joke that with all the holier-than-thou preaching
being done that NOT ONE MVP or anyone else was willing to give posters who
do not get the help they need from the newsgroup help through direct e-mail
and consultation. You are right. All this sermonizing about free help is a
BIG JOKE!!!!

If free help is a big joke, how about going off and starting your own
newsgroup where you can provide almost free help?

John... Visio MVP

PS: The MVPs understood Lyle's joke and saw no reason to post.

[quoting MessageID
<11**********************@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups .com>:]
Is there anyone who would like to join me in a cadre in "free
help"
providers. We would regularly respond to advertising posts with
one saying something like:
If you can't get the help you need in the newsgroup try
contacting wh******@domain.com; if one of our group can help
through direct e-mail and consultation we will. Our group
includes:

John Doe (experience and expertise)
etc
And Lyle got ZILCH response!!


The MessageID is
<11**********************@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups .com>, which is
what you were asked to provide.

Quoting the post doesn't prove it's real, as you could fake it.

Secondly, you said:
Lyle put a call in CDMA within the past 4 to 6 weeks asking for
MVPs and any one else interested to form a group with a special
signature line to provide help in the newsgroup.


I see nothing in the actual post about MVPs. The whole point of the
post was to try to stop advertising in the newsgroup.

YOU LOSE THIS ROUND.

Well, moron, Lyle's post had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the issue
of unanswered posts.

It was all about responding to yahoos like you how insist on
contravening the rules of this newsgroup for personal benefit.

I'm done with you now, since you've just proven that you're
fundamentally dishonest.

Steve, that may be from your persepctive, which I understand was/is that
of being under siege! I think everyone's points have been made, so
let's all just walk away from this one, OK?
