App Loses Focus Using Hide Method

My application is MDI. After bringing up my main form
(the parent), I then show a non-child form as a modal
dialog box (FormBorderStyl e=FixedDialog, displayed using
the ShowDialog method from the main form). After the user
enters the required data and clicks OK, this form does a
Me.Hide to hide itself. As soon as the code hits the hide
method, any app that was active on the desktop before
starting my app (Excel, Word, etc. - it doesn't matter)
gets the focus and is laying on top of my main form. Very
annoying!!!
This app is the result of a conversion from VB6 and
running on that platform the problem does not occur.
I have searched help, all of Microsoft's web sites,
online magazines, Yahoo, under the bed, you name it and
there is nothing to be found about this. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Steve Blumenstein

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".

Hello. I"m new to this group, and to JavaScript in general, so please forgive me if I breach local etiquette. I'm trying to implement some client-side 'dynamic' validation on a form. I'm having a couple of problems, which I'll try to describe. But this e-mail will only reproduce one of them, in a "short" example. What I'm generally doing is having each form entry contained in a div, which as a label, an input with some event handlers,...

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.

Hi, I have a treeview where the user selects a node before editing it. The problem is that when the user clicks on the text box to edit the node, the treeview loses its focus and the node is no longer highlighted. To fix this I do something like - void treeView_AfterSelect(object sender, EventArgs e) { selectedNode.BackColor = Color.White;

I have a form with a listview control and a textbox. When I change focus from the listview to the textbox, the highlighted item on the listview loses the highlight. That is not the behavior I need. I am using VB2008 express. I see that the behavior of a similar program in VB6 is the same. When the controls are a listbox and a textbox, the highlighted item remains highlighted when changing focus to the textbox. So I might guess that...

I'm trying to figure out a workaround to a minor annoyance that I'm coming up with while coding a site. I've got some keyboard shortcuts set up for the site via javascript, and when I press escape, it's set to hide several divs on the page, and remove focus from a link. Unfortunately, I don't know which link will have focus, so I can't just blur a particular element (that I'm aware of) since I won't know which element it is. I got it...

Hello folks, 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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
