Hi,
I have have a program containing two forms that are
open at the same time. The main form updates the second
when the user enters input by adding a control to it. My
problem is that when the second form (which is in the
backgroud) is updated it suddenly jumps to the top of the
z-order although it does not have focus. Is there any way
to keep it from automatically bringing itself to the front
when a control is added to it by the other form? I would
much rather prefer that it would stay behind the main
window where I put it.
Thanks, Tim

What you could possibly do, is move the update code to only fire when the
form is closed or loses focus, rather than when it is updated. This way,
the second form won't be updated until the main form is closed or loses
focus, and hence, won't force itself to the top.
Hope this helps,
Mun

Thank you for you help. I wanted to allow the user to see
updates in the second form as they were working in the
main form. I would have put the information that is
contained in the second onto the main form - but the user
needs to be able to resize the information frame to see
all of it (and there would be no room on the main form).
Does anyone know if this same problem would happen if I
put the two forms into an MDI application?

Hi Tim,
Is it not posible for you to set that form minimized
Just a thought?

Hello All,
I'd like for my ASP.NET application to look like an application and not have
to display the menu and toolbars in the browser window.
In order to do this now I use a response.write and imbed javascript to do
window.open and include parameters to suppress these items. This causes
problems for users that have a popup stopper installed as the resulting
window is a popup and is usually suppressed.

Hi,
I have a 'main' form called frmIssues which has a subform control
(named linkIssuesDrug) containing the subform sfrmLink_Issues_Drugs.
A control button on the main form opens a pop-up form which allows me
to edit the record in the subform. What I want to happen is for
subform with the new edits to be updated on the main form when I close
the popup. I'm sure this is a very small bit of code in the the 'On

Well I hope I this isn't too nebulous of a problem. The problem I currently have is this:
I have a button in a form that opens up a javascript/css poup that has an input field and two ahref links for ok and cancel, both of which call the popup's toggle() method (same thing that is called from the button). The form that this button is in has fields that can be added or removed by the user.
Everything works great in firefox and netscape,...

set filters for the main form.
The main form is based on a single table.
The popup contains 5 listboxes, so the user can filter on 5 fields in
this table, and can include as many field values as s/he needs.
The popup is reached from a command button on the main form

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
