>>Another problem with FindWindow is that you have to supply the complete text of the title bar. You might want to look at might Is_Run32 function (available from the download section under Win32 & other APIs). It'll return the window handle based on the known portion of the title bar (and isn't case sensitive).

>Is there a win32api that I can use to change the active window? This is a followup to the problem I was having about requiring a fax monitor running as part of my VFP app. I can now find out if the fax monitor is running. If it isn't running, I can start it using 'run /n7 faxmon32.exe'. However the focus remains on the fax monitor. I would like the focus to return to my VFP APP. Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the kind words.

To activate another application and its window use the following:

DELCARE SHORT SetForegroundWindow IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hWnd
* lnhWnd is the Window handle of the application to activate
llresult = (SetForegroundWindow(lnhWnd) # 0)
IF llresult
  * The app was activated.
ENDIF

The value returned by Is_Run32 can be passed to SetForegroundWindow.
