Returning focus to active application.

AaronL
99
Hello,

I have an app that runs in the task bar, but I want to make it so that when a use clicks on the icon in the task bar, the application that they were working on doesn't lose focus.

Is there a way I can prevent my application from getting focus, if not, is there a way to get the current active application that is in focus, and then set focus back to that application after the click to the task bar??

Thank you

Perhaps GetForeGroundWindow and SetWindowPos API's might help...



Good Luck
