Ah, then yes most definitely! If you're writing a GUI program, a LostFocus event is a normal thing to be able to catch. Now, if you're writing a console program, that mightn't be so easy. But certainly you can detect loss of focus to any window that you control. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
