Hi all,

I've no idea what changed in the past 2 hours, but a simple app I'm working (single form, no menus, no vfp screen) is opening up WITHOUT focus.

I have checked my code against the usual recommendations:

config.fpw included in executable with only "screen = off"

form properties:
WindowType = 1 (modal)
ShowWindow = 2 (top level form).

It was working well but from about 2 hours ago, the form doesn't have the focus when I start the app.

I've even added a messagebox to the form's gotfocus event to ensure it is firing (it is), but when I click on the messagebox's OK button, the form loses focus again (focus goes back to the executable file in windows explorer (where I started it from) or the shortcut I created to start the executable.

I've rebooted the computer, thinking that it might have something to do with the OS, but no change.

I've seen some solutions suggesting the use of windows' api calls to work around this problem, but I'd really like to know what the hell causes this [obviously buggy] behavior.

Thanks!

Alex
