Edits: its a Windows Application, Not a Console Writeline
I am developing an application having multiple screens appearing one after another using Vs2008 on Windows Xp(sp3) in vb.net. My requirement is to bring some screens (windows form) in front of the user to take input and some of the forms can work in background (behind other applications) as they are only progress showing forms.
[Code]...
I'm starting a 3rd party application using system.process then initiating some work by sending commands with SendKeys. Towards the end of the process a dialog (YesNo) may appear, the user needs to click depending on their choice.This dialog will always appear behind my application (and any others opened or handled since) Is it possible to give the dialog top focus? (Or at maybe the application which is minimised by mine - assuming this action will keep it minimised while giving the dialog focus)

I tried Me.active(), Me.BringToFront(), Me.Focus(), and also some of the APIs like GetForegroundWindow(),SetForegroundWindow(), ShowWindow() etc, but failed to do so.
I tried another set of instructions
Me.TopMost = True
Me.Active()
Me.TopMost = False
Its works for me but once my form come in front, no other application can appear on top untill the my form is selected manually. Although I tried Me.Select() and Me.Focus() after above mentioned set of instructions but failed.

Sub AOnTop(frmID As Form, OnTop As Long)[code]...
I am using the SetWindowPos to set a window to the front to capture it (not a window of my own application). However, this works from time to time & that is what worries me.
My declaration:
[Code]....
This does work, if just, let's say have forms open, but it doesn't when I minimize everything & get to the desktop (with that taskbar button). It also returns 1400 error a lot, even with running as administrator.
1. I have an array of windows handles (list of window handles) which are windows I want to minimize when I call the ShowWindow API. But when I call it it sometimes minimizes other windows which aren't the windows I had before. I'm guessing that window handles are changed when other windows are being opened, is there is any option to detect a window in other way? like identity or something like that?
2. I'm trying to change a window size by using the SetWindowPos, but the problem is that I'm using this API while I'm dragging a window which causes the window to change the size for a sec and then go back to the same size, how can I change the window size while I'm dragging it?
3. When a left mouse button is up I want to maximize a window, but when I'm using the ShowWindow API right after the left mose button is up it causes the window to maximize for a sec and then go back I could fix that adding a delay:[code...]
4. Another question, can anyone give me an example on how to put a window right behind other window? (I guess changing something in the Z order?) I already got the two windows handles.
I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?
View 5 RepliesI have the following function that should make the window always on top of other applications.
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal handle As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
[Code]....
The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.

I am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.

View 3 Repliesim looking for a way to bring a form into second "z" position. wow this question is hard to ask. in other words i have two windows one that is a main editing window and a second one that is behind that one. the reason for this is that the first is partially clear with extended windows aero glass and the window behind offers a purely for design aspect to it. the probem is that when you have multiple windows open such as a webbrowser and my program (for you multitaskers) when the webbrowser window comes to focus as the top window then you click on my window and it becomes top window the webbrowser is now stuck in between my windows. so is there a code to make all other windows on you desktop be sent to the back except for a certin one. or a code to bring a window to the second "z" possition as in not the front but back one?
