Good afternoon!
How do I bring a PowerBuilder screen into focus even if the user clicks off the screen?

Thanks

Chris is right. This is all you need:

// Window's DEACTIVATE event
this.POST SetFocus( )

 

WARNING:

Whenver ANY code displays MessageBox or some kind of Response window => That box or window will temporarily take over focus -- until user or app closes that "MODAL" dialog. - - THEN focus shifts back to your desired window.

Hi Marco;

  PB's Window Class has a Deactivate event. In that event, POST back to the current window a SetFocus().

  • THIS.Post Event SetFocus()

 An alternative to the above is ...

  • THIS.Post Function SetPosition ( TopMost! )

HTH

Regards ... Chris
