ActiveX window runs minimized
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2007 05:32 PM

I am having a problem with the following code. When the window is activated it displays for a brief second then goes to the task bar (minimized); I then need to click the task bar item for the window to reappear. What can I do so the window does not run minimized? I have tried the following with no luck.

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 ON INIT BringWindowToTop( oWnd2:hWnd )
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 ON INIT ShowWindow( oWnd2, 1)
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 ON INIT ShowWindow( oWnd2, 5 )
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 ON INIT ShowWindow( oWnd2, 9)
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 NORMAL

// Source below...
MENU oMenu
MENUITEM "&Close" ACTION ( oWnd2:End() )
ENDMENU

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd2 FROM 0, 0 TO 40, 85 MENU oMenu

oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWnd2, "Shell.Explorer" )
oWnd2:oClient = oActiveX
oActiveX:Do( "Navigate2", cAesdd + cHan )

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 NORMAL

Thank you,

Darrell,

I don't know if either of these will work, but you can try:

SetForeGroundWindow( hWnd )

Or,

SetActiveWindow( hWnd )

You might also try a sysRefresh() afterward.

Darrell,

You may also try:

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd2 NORMAL ;
ON INIT SetFocus( oWnd2:hWnd )

Thank you James and Antonio; I tried all three with and without sysrefresh() and it did not work. Any chance it has something to do wiht IE7?

Darrell,

This works for fine here (and it is visible):

Code: Select all Collapse

// Test ActiveX

#include "fivewin.ch"

function main()
   local oWnd,oActiveX

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd

   oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "Shell.Explorer" )
   oWnd:oClient = oActiveX
   oActiveX:Do( "Navigate2", "www.microsoft.com" )

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil
