Hi Alan, I use a similar active-bar set, and had the same problem, which
I solved with a left command [EMAIL PROTECTED]
@HideBarsTillBump
bar.hide(MyActiveBar)
bar.hide(MyTray)
quit ( event.create(1,0, ??bar.show("?++MyActiveBar++??")++bar.show("?
++MyTray++??")?, "ymouse<4||visiblewindow("++win.handle(MyActiveBar)
++")", 1) )
which doesn't have a focus problem, at least as far as I can see it.
I also added a feature that allows me to position my bars either
horizonally at top screen edge, or vertically at left screen edge. It's
handy when I'm using remote control session windows, so similarly
looking bars are positioned perpendicularly instead of horizontally
which helps me to avoid clicking the wrong bar.
To give you an idea, my ini files includes:
[MyActiveBar:Properties]
;if( index(gvMyActiveBarProps,"vertical") )
Active = Count: 40 UseLast PressFore
Format1 = Position: FixedTopLeft Vertical
;else
Active = Count: 25 UseLast PressFore
Format1 = Position: FixedTopLeft
;endif
[MyTray:Properties]
;if( index(gvMyActiveBarProps,"vertical") )
Format1 = Position: FixedBottomLeft Vertical
;else
Format1 = Position: FixedTopRightoffset
;endif

As these are my main bars and substitute Windows taskbar and icon tray,
I didn't really find a reason to use position floating, where do you
find it useful?
