I've a form that opens a tool window. The problem is that when the tool
window is opened, the main form itself passes focus to the toolwindow.
What I want and need is a toolwindow that works like a control with
tabstop=false, i.e. it doesn't get focus when the window is opened, but
focus is retained at the main form. And when you click a button on the
toolwindow, it processes the click event and returns focus to the main form.
Is that possible?
Cheers,
Johnny J.

You could set the focus back to the main form after you show the tool bar.
Form myToolBar = new Form();
myToolBar.Show( );
this.Focus(); // focus back to the main form

Tried that, but it doesn't work.
It goes into an endless loop somehow...

When does it go into an endless loop? Can you describe what is happening?

Help!
Opening a new window using the window.open( ) command works great
for opening new windows and having them on top and having the focus.
The window.focus command brings any existing windows to the front
(top) in Netscape, IE and Opera. However, this command does nothing
when you access the web page through AOL, even though they say this is
IE. Once a window is behind (blurred), I have been unable to bring it
back to the front...

Folks,
I'm working on a contact name/address database whereby a slimed down list is
shown in the main window. When a record is selected, the complete record is
displayed in a new window via a call to window.open
As opposed to closing and re-opening new windows, I would prefer that when
the user is finished reading the complete record, they can click a link
whereby the main window is sent in to focus.

I'm struggling with the JavaScript blur event. I have an activex
control that I need to interact with when a window loses focus, namely
to instruct it to give up control of a barcode scanner so that the
application being brought foreward can take control.
It has been my observation that when I set the window.onblur function,
the window will gain focus and then immediately lose focus (blur) to
the first field, button, or whatever that is...

If I use the following construct in the frame "main" for a link to an
extern site:
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern">
the Browser is creating the window "extern", loading the page
www.any.xy an setting the focus to "extern". But when I go return to
"main" without closing "extern", a click to an other link (e.g.
www.2nd_any.xy) on "main" does not setting the focus to "extern".

I'm looking for ideas how to implement a tool window with several
buttons which, once clicked, should paste certain character in to the
active EditBox in an other window of my application. The problem is to
know which EditBox was focused before the focus went to the tool
window, and then paste the character to the EditBox, but one apparent
solution (logging all Windows events) is too time consuming.

Hi guys,
I often use the "Find" (aka CTRL-F) tool in "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1
c++".
I noticed that that dialog box does not go away when I perform a search (it
stays on the screen). This is different from the behavior of VS6.
I find this frusterating because a mouse click is required to close the
window (I cannot ALT-TAB back to the find window to press ESC).

Hello
The window.open method brings my window to the top only if it is new. If
it's being reused, the window does not come to the foreground (with IE 6 it
does).
Is there a new way in Mozilla/Firefox that I can ensure that this
window comes to the top?
Thank you for your help

Hi,
I am confused about the differences between this.window.focus(),
window.focus(), and this.focus().
I want to use the calls in a <body onload="..."tag. What are the
differences between these forms that may make one succeed and another
fail? In particular, this.window.focus() fails in Opera 9.10 with an
"object not found", and windows.focus() succeeds in Opera 9.10, Firefox
2.02, and IE 7.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
