The samples that come with the module are generally very good place to
learn; I've found the documentation to be sketchy at times, though.
To answer your specific question, ->SetFocus() is the command you'll use.
For example:
my $Window = new Win32::GUI::Window(
-name => "Window",
-left => 210,
-top => 100,
-width => 700,
-height => 500,
-title => "Look Ma, a window!",
-menu => $Menu,
);
$Window->SetFocus();
You can do this with a window, dialog box, or a widget on either. Have fun,
this is good stuff.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Quick question
OK, being relatively new to Perl, I stumbled upon Win32::GUI and I can see a
number of uses.
I am sure that newbie questions are, as it should be, usually answered with
"RTFM", but being mostly from the Win32 world (and slowly retreating), I
don't know where to get good reference materials.
I am not looking to have you answer my questions necessarily, but pointers
in the right direction would be appreciated. So here are the things that I
am looking for answers for:
1) How do I make the focus of a MsgBox change? Currently, using the example
provided with the module, the message box does not have the focus, but
instead ends up behind everything. Since I am using this as an indicator of
job completion, in the front would be nice :)
2) I know this is not necessarily the right forum for this question, but I
am looking for a resource on GUI programming in PERL.. like I said earlier,
just getting into Perl right now, so pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks for putting up with the Newbie questions :)
Bob
