Where did foreground/focus go? Thanks.
After some testing I can be more precise. The button I push is on a (shown as bar) list called "MainBar". After exiting the second CMD mentioned above, focus goes, according to GetForeGroundWindow(), to the window with class "PowerProToolBar" and caption "MainBar". It's not supposed to do that, is it? It's a somewhat dangerous situation ... if I press <Alt-F4>, MainBar disappears! This is also in contrast to what happens if, instead of using a tool bar button to start CMD, I use an entry on a menu shown by a tool bar button. In this case, focus goes to the first CMD if I immediately exit the second (even though the tool bar did have focus in between). - Vince ------------------------ Yahoo!
