I have an application that starts with a modeless password form. The trouble is that when I start the application from the exe, the password form does not have focus.
* In Config.fpw I have:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCREEN=OFF
* In the main program I have:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
declare integer ShowWindow in Win32API;
integer hwnd,;
integer hwnd
DO FORM PASSWORD
* various commands tried see below
READ EVENTS
* For the form itself the only non-cosmetic properites set are:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ShowWindow=2 - As Top-Level Form
WindowType=0 - Modeless
I thought about using the forms HWnd property to set focus, but I am not sure when I have access to it. I put the above Win32API ShowWindow declaration in my main program so I could utilize it to set focus to the password form, but I am not sure where to put the command to show the window. Should it have been in the form itself?
Between the DO FORM PASSWORD and READ EVENTS commands in the main program I have tried:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO FORM PASSWORD
*password.show()
*password.activate()
*ShowWindow(Password.hwnd,8)
READ EVENTS
All seem to fail to bring the password form to the forefront and into focus.
I know this is probably an old problem to many of you, so help me out! ;)
