I wrote something like this:


DECLARE INTEGER GetWindowThreadProcessId IN user32 INTEGER, INTEGER@
DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN Win32API;
STRING @lpClassName, ;
STRING @lpWindowName
declare integer OpenThread in kernel32 integer lnaccess, integer lninherit, integer inthreadID
declare integer CloseHandle in kernel32 integer
#DEFINE THREAD_BASE_PRIORITY_MIN -2
#DEFINE THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST 2
#DEFINE THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST THREAD_BASE_PRIORITY_MIN
#define THREAD_SET_INFORMATION 0x20
DECLARE SHORT SetThreadPriority in kernel32 INTEGER hThread, INTEGER nPriority
DECLARE SHORT GetThreadPriority in kernel32 INTEGER hThread
lcApplicationTitle = _screen.caption
lnHWnd = FindWindow(0, @lcApplicationTitle)
local lnprocID, lnthreadID
lnprocID = 1
lnthread_ID = GetWindowThreadProcessId(lnHWnd, @lnprocID)
local lnhthread
lnhthread = OpenThread(THREAD_SET_INFORMATION,0,lnThread_ID)
xx=getThreadPriority(lnhthread)
yy=SetThreadPriority(lnhthread, THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST)
aa=getThreadPriority(lnhthread)
=CloseHandle(lnhthread)


Everything seems to work fine except that the priority remains unchanged - I checked xx and aa before and after, and yy gave 1, meaning success.

Any Ideas???

TIA, Eylon
