"The system restricts which processes can set the foreground window. A process can set the foreground window only if one of the following conditions is true: - The process is the foreground process. - The process was started by the foreground process. - The process received the last input event. - There is no foreground process. - The process is being debugged. - The foreground process is not a Modern Application or the Start Screen. - The foreground is not locked (see LockSetForegroundWindow <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-locksetforegroundwindow> ). - The foreground lock time-out has expired (see *SPI_GETFOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT* in SystemParametersInfo <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winuser/nf-winuser-systemparametersinfoa> ). - No menus are active. An application cannot force a window to the foreground while the user is working with another window. Instead, Windows flashes the taskbar button of the window to notify the user." https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19136365/win32-setforegroundwindow-not-working-all-the-time This is more of a Windows API question than a Golang question, so you might do better to direct your questions to a Windows forum. The second link above does describe a workaround involving AttachThreadInput. I'm not sure if w32 has that function mapped or not - if not, you can try https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/xpzed/win32 Good luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
