How to bring mdichild to foreground
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 10:49 pm
Doews anyone have any idea how to bring a mdichild window to the foreground (make it active)? I have tried setForegroundWindow(), setFocus(), and setActiveWindow() and none seem to work.
In the following example, pressing any of the buttons should bring the clients window to the foreground--at least it appears that it should from the documentation. I must be doing something wrong.
Oh, I also tried showWindow() and that didn't work either.

action setFocus( oWnd:oWndClient:aWnd[1]:hWnd )
define button of oBar ;
action setActiveWindow( oWnd:oWndClient:aWnd[1]:hWnd )
