Re: [dev] How to bring OpenOffice window to front
You might wanna look at the source code implementation of the IsAlwaysOnTop property of the css::presentation::Presentation service because I think it goes down to using the Win API on Win32. No guarantees whatsoever about whether it really does, because I have not taken looks, I just conclude from its behavior I have experienced in some situations. But yes as already said, I don't think there is a nice way and actually in the OOo API there is no way as far as I know. If something like this would get included, I propose it to be attached to the css::frame::Desktop service, since that resembles the OOo GUI environment. 2006/2/2, Matthias Benkmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have the problem that when I launch a new OOo window with loadComponentFromURL() it doesn't always come to the front. Sometimes its button just blinks in the Windows task bar and I have to click it manually to bring it to the front. Is there a way to programmatically bring the window to the front? XTopWindow.toFront() and XWindow.setFocus() don't do the trick as they only work relative to other OOo windows not non-OOo windows. -- Best Regards Christian Junker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, but it is bad coding style to work against the system guide lines. Such a special behavior should be reserved for special programs or special situations. Opening a window in OOo is neither of them.

There is a way to allow background programs to bring up windows in the front even in XP. I don't remember how though.

XTopWindow.toFront() and XWindow.setFocus() don't do the trick as they only work relative to other OOo windows not non-OOo windows. IIRC this is a feature of your operating system. If an application running in the background creates a new task window Windows XP will not bring it to front but instead lets it flash in the taskbar. The same code(!) on Windows 98 will bring the window to front IIRC. Only if the application that opens a new window is in the foreground the new window immediately comes to the front. So overall I'd say that this is the desired behavior on this platform, nothing inside OOo that can overrule it.
