Re: [Lazarus] Use rare Win32 API in LCLIntf.SetForegroundWindow
I would advise strongly against the use of SwitchToThisWindow API function in Lazarus. Mainly because it states in the docs: /This function is not intended for general use. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows./ Read more in Raymond Chen's blog - The life story of the SwitchToThisWindow function: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/2007-00/?p=9183 Denis On 23/05/2017 18:38, Alexey via Lazarus wrote: What do you think about using this rare API [beginning from WinXP] in LCLIntf fnction?

[Lazarus] Use rare Win32 API in LCLIntf.SetForegroundWindow
What do you think about using this rare API [beginning from WinXP] in LCLIntf fnction? It will make LCL function work more stable: window will always go to foreground. I used it in CudaText. It works. https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/blob/master/app/fix_focus_window.pas -- Regards, Alexey -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
