The matter of the refreshed window popping to the front of all the other work on the screen is a typical microsoft issue.
Whether it's in IE, or in a program that's not microsoft based, most all of the screen IO calls are at leased remotely based on IE in some fashion or another. Therefore, whenever there is a screen refresh to a program, it will always pop to the front of everything else. SOMETIMES minimizing the errant window will help -- depends on how the refresh call was written. In most cases, the refresh will always take control of the desktop. We have this problem with scheduling software and most of our users disable the auto-refresh feature to get around it. Unfortunately, the software doesn't have any other way to let them know that a surgical suite time-slot is taken until they attempt to save the patent schedule record and the, albeit infrequent, double-booking of a surgical suite has caused some very interesting language to emanate from the otherwise sweet mouths of the women who work in the offices. They severely dislike having to spend another 20 minutes maneuvering in a bunch of poorly designed software windows to reschedule the patients surgery in another timeslot Bruce Barnes ChicagoNetTech Inc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Campbell Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 2006 - Auto Refresh Steals focus from Compose Window I've seen this with 7.07 webmail. I wonder if it's an IE thing. I log out of webmail. Not waiting for the window to change to the login page, I switch to another window (IE or other). A few seconds later, click, the webmail login page pops to front. adamc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Catuogno Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 14:12 To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] 2006 - Auto Refresh Steals focus from Compose Window I have many users whining about the fact that when they are composing an e-mail the main page "clicks" an what they were typing gets reduced.
