Suggestions:
- use Set Window WIN_MAPINFO Front
or
- use API function GetFocus before the call, SetFocus after the call;
example:
Declare Function GetFocus16 Lib "user" Alias GetFocus () As SmallInt
Declare Function SetFocus16 Lib "user" Alias SetFocus (Byval handle As
SmallInt) As SmallInt
Declare Function GetFocus32 Lib "user32" Alias GetFocus () As Integer
Declare Function SetFocus32 Lib "user32" Alias SetFocus (Byval handle As
Integer) As Integer
If (SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_MIPLATFORM)= MIPLATFORM_WIN32) Then
handle32=GetFocus32()
Else
handle16=GetFocus16()
End If
...DDE stuff...
If (SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_MIPLATFORM)= MIPLATFORM_WIN32) Then
handle32= SetFocus32(handle32)
Else
handle16= SetFocus16(handle16)
End If
