To clearify my previous post, the reason I said the KEYBOARD was going to the wrong place was because all I know is that it is not going to the right place. (then it must be going to the wrong place eh?)

>In regard to focus: you may use API ShowWindow to do it.

Could you direct me to some information on the API calls?
