But I tested this here using a mouse with 2 forms visible and I can click a button on either form and they work. The user also says using the mouse works with one click, but touching the screen requires 2 touches.

If the form doesn't have focus then why would it process the button event? I think the first event on an unfocussed form or app probably sets the focus and is then discarded. This behaviour is different in a browser window as you note. As for type of control, while my browser has focus, no menus, buttons, put-cursor-here-click, on this Outlook message window results in the action obtained when clicked "while using Outlook". I have to click again.

I have seen other programs where clicking a button in a non-focussed app does not click the button, and some where it does. Eg Windows Mail clicking send receive does activate the form but does not click the Send Receive button. However a Firefox Refresh button will activate even if the Firefox Window does not have focus.... I suspect its the type of control - maybe Toolbar buttons or Speedbuttons do and others do not for instance?

A customer who has a touch screen says when he touches a button on the form that doesn't currently have the focus, the button doesn't get clicked. First touch only activates the form and a 2nd touch is required. Anyone know why that would be? I would have thought a touch on a screen touch was identical as clicking with a mouse.
