New functions

[Natter]

Hi,

2 new functions have been announced in FW2210 - GetTopWindow( [hWnd] ) and GetForegroundWindow(). What is the difference between them, isn't Top Window and Foreground Window the same thing ?

No

when have MsgInfo() it is "ON TOP" of all Windows even when switch to "other" App

Code: Select all  Expand view

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ON INIT MakeTop( oWnd ) CENTER

PROCEDURE MakeTop( oObj )
   SetWindowPos( oObj:hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, ;
                 oObj:nTop, oObj:nLeft, ;
                 oObj:nWidth, oObj:nHeight )
RETURN

this is when using Style HWND_TOPMOST

Foreground Windows is when App is running and you start e.g. a 2nd Instance which you not want

Code: Select all  Expand view

INIT PROCEDURE MainInit()
LOCAL cTitle  := "phpBB Forum Grabber " + cVersion
LOCAL hWndDlg := FindWindowEx(,,, cTitle )
   IF !( hWndDlg == 0 )
      MsgInfo( "phpBB Forum Grabber " + cVersion + " is running ..." )
      IF ISMINIMIZED( hWndDlg )
         RESTORE( hWndDlg )
      ENDIF
      SetForegroundWindow( hWndDlg )
      BringWindowToTop( hWndDlg )
      ShowWindow( hWndDlg, 1 )
      UpdateWindow( hWndDlg )
      QUIT                                  // It is a second instance. Bye Bye
   ENDIF
RETURN

this will bring running App into Foreground and set Focus on App
