A PyGUI user has reported a problem on Windows XP whereby an application's window is not on top when it starts up.
Apparently launching it with with pythonw doesn't entirely fix the problem, but making it a py2exe application does. Anyone here have any idea what might be causing this? Is there something I should do when creating a window to make sure it appears on top? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Pygui] Window Always Starts Behind Others Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 10:17:10 -0400 From: Mark Melvin <[email protected]> To: Greg Ewing <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 8:28 PM, Greg Ewing <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Mark Melvin wrote: I'm on Windows XP - 32-bit using the latest PyGUI. How are you launching the app? If you're not doing so already, try running it with pythonw.exe rather than python.exe, or give it a .pyw extension and double click. -- Greg Hi Greg, I was indeed launching as a console app, and I even had "console" in my py2exe setup. I've changed to using the 'windows' version of the launcher and it seems to have fixed the issue of the GUI launching behind almost every other window and being hidden from view entirely. However, it still pops up behind the console window I launch it from, and the py2exe'd executable version of the application pops up behind the Windows Explorer window from which I launched it. I checked a py2exe'd app I wrote that uses wxPython, and it always pops up on top when launched. Could there be a small issue on Windows with this in PyGUI?
