Sometimes it fires the Activate, sometimes it doesnt...odd, and annoying to
have it grab the cursor away, if only for brief moments, It can stop you
typing at just the right time..
WinXP Pro SP2
AS perl 5.8.4 build 810
Win32::GUI 1.02
Any help in sorting out why its pissy/not working properly would be
appreciated!
Very interesting example. I checked that the win32-gui show method is
passing the correct parameters to the MS API function ShowWindow - and it
is, so the problem is not there. The only thing I can think of is when you
are manipulating the window one of the methods is somehow performing an
implicit activate?
While looking at the MS doco for ShowWindow:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/showwindow.asp
I came accross the AnimateWindow function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/animatewindow.asp
Now, this function doesn't exist in win32-gui, but you should be able to
call it by win32-API - if you (or anyone else for that matter) thinks it
should be in the core, I'll add it before the next release.
Cheers,
