Mark Mc Mahon sent me personal email with the answer that I ought to
be using SetForegroundWindow. For this I needed a window handle, and
for that I think I needed a window name. Since I can't be sure of the
full window name (it changes based on the active document), I wrote
the following function that uses a regexp to match the names of all
active windows:
#------------------------------------------------------------
def RaiseWindowNamed(nameRe):
import win32gui
# start by getting a list of all the windows:
cb = lambda x,y: y.append(x)
wins = []
win32gui.EnumWindows(cb,wins)
# now check to see if any match our regexp:
tgtWin = -1
for win in wins:
txt = win32gui.GetWindowText(win)
if nameRe.match(txt):
tgtWin=win
break
if tgtWin>=0:
win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(tgtWin)
#------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to do what I want it to do.
Thanks Mark!
