Well it was 0 on my system for whatever strange reason. It explains now why I had all the time programs popping up in front while I was busy typing something in some application. A very annoying behaviour and I have no idea why someone would want this to be active. Thanks for this tip. In combination with a dialog loosing focus in such a way you certainly can get into strange situations. Rolf Kalbermatter

The registry value HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout takes care of that. Setting it to 0 means that programs are allow to steal focus. I think this started with Win2K. Setting it to a large value (default is 0x30d40) get's you a flashing taskbar icon when a program tries to steal focus. Cheers, Paul.

I do get similar behaviour regularly on non-Wine applications on my Windows XP system. Even applications from MS like Outlook exhibit this behaviour. It's annoying but I haven't spend any time to look into this. Rolf Kalbermatter
Re: bug in winetest gui
Surprise surprise, some people have found this not to happen on some installation of xp and win2k3. I think I'll leave the debugging of this to someone else. Ivan.
bug in winetest gui
On some systems the tag window is created as modal, but doesn't get focus until the user clicks on the dialogue box or the winetest window. I've found this on windows server 2003 service pack 1, Michael Jung has confirmed this happens on windows server 2003 and windows xp service pack 2. I don't see why Microsoft would change an old and tested function like DialogBoxParam, but something is going wrong. Michael also reported focus stays on the about box in the wine test window, so this windows isn't disabled properly. For some reason I can't get winetest to cross compile here, as I can't try fixing it myself I thought I'd might as well report it. BTW the tag box takes focus correctly on nt 4.0 sp6 Ivan.
