I have no idea if this will help or not, but if the original poster can
either get the windows handle or find the handle from the class/title of
the window, they can use Win API calls to gain focus. [I'm assuming this
is a regular WinAPI window.]
Something like:
var
h: Thandle;
begin
h := FindWindow( nil, 'Graph Window Title' ); //replace with your
window title
if ( h <> 0 ) then begin
//bring the window to the front
if not(SetForegroundWindow( h )) then
writeln( 'Failed to bring window to front.' );
//give the window focus (i.e. remove focus from any controls)
if not( SendMessage( h, WM_SETFOCUS, 0, 0 ) = 0 ) then
writeln( 'Failed to set focus to window.' );
end
else
writeln('Window was not found.');
end;
You can substitute the 'WM_SETFOCUS' part to use the handle of the
actual control you wish to have focus, or leave it out and the default
windows functionality will happen.
