Problem with active state of a window......

Hello everybody,
I have a problem when I try to activate my Window Form and I don't
understand why.
I have a owner form with 3 different owned forms and one of this forms
is named letter.
In my code I open all the owned form and I switch between them using
the visible property.
For example when I want to see the letter form I write the following
code:

letter.Visible = true;
letter.BringToF ront();
MessageBox.Show ("lettera.Focus ()= "+lettera.Focus ().ToString
()); // I use messagebox to evaluate the output
MessageBox.Show ("lettera.Focus ed= "+lettera.Focus ed.ToString
()); // I use messagebox to evaluate the output
MessageBox.Show ("lettera.Focus ed= "+lettera.Focus ed.ToString
()); // I use messagebox to evaluate the output

but when the form become visible I can see it but it's not the active
window (I have to vlick over it to see the prompt blinking inside the
textbox that's in the letter form....).
What's my error? if I try to evaluate the expression letter.Focused at
the end of the code it returns true... what's wrong?

use Form.Activate() ;

In your case, letter.Activate ();

Since that did not work, I would recommend posting enough code so that one
of us here can duplicate the problem.

I have tried searching for the past 3 hours (I'm probably just using the wrong search phrase) with no success. I wrote a program to run in the background. It generates data on a timer and I need that data to be inserted into the active field of the active window. I have been successful in finding the active window using GetForegroundWindow, but not so much with the inserting of the text. Any help would be great. Thanks, --Edd

Hi, I have an MDI application which has aboout 10 child windows. The way the app needs to work is that only one window should be visible at a time and it should be maximized within the parent window.

I have tried various things to overcome this inclusing overriding OnResize etc but none seem to give...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
