Hi, you can use the function SetForegroundWindow() using the window address to make it active Sujan

here is a code snippet I found on this site a few weeks ago. I think the title of the article is something like "Dialog box tips & tricks". I haven't tried it yet, but I thought it may come in handy, so I put it in my Code Librarian:

//Attach foreground window thread
//to our thread
AttachThreadInput(
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(
        ::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
    GetCurrentThreadId(),TRUE);

//Do our stuff here ;-)
SetForegroundWindow();
SetFocus(); //Just playing safe

//Detach the attached thread
AttachThreadInput(
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(
        ::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
    GetCurrentThreadId(),FALSE);

Who are all these people and what are they doing in my house?...Me in 30 years, inside a grocery store bdiamond :zzz:
