Make popen() application the active window.

1 New Member
I am trying to use PyHook and the popen() method in order to open another program whenever a particular keycode is pressed. (even when i am on another screen) However, if another window has focus, the program i am opening is minimized, and I need it to be on top.

Any thoughts on how I can make the open program the active window?

On my web page, I have a few hyperlinks with target frame of _blank. The hyperlink brings up a second window, but everytime I click on thie hperlink, it keeps bringing up a new window and not defaulting the the first active window.

However, if I open up a mdi child form and another mdi child...

When I use os.popen(cmd,'w'), I find that under windows, the stdout of the child process disappears, instead of appearing in the DOS window the script is invoked from. eg: C:\type foo.py import os import sys file = os.popen("nslookup", 'w') file.write("google.com\n") file.close()

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
