>>>Is there a way to activate a child IDE window (code window, etc.) using a Win32 API call? I have the hWnd, but for some reason I can't get it to activate from a toolbar button. I've tried SetWindowPos(), ShowWindow(), SetActiveWindow(), and SetForegroudWindow(), but none of these seem to work. Will VFP allow activating a window in this manner?

You're welcome Joel :)
The third params is an activation options.
1 = WA_ACTIVE, means activate the window by a method other than mouse click event.
