Regain focus on window form

[Hughng]

Hello,

How can I regain focus on my Form application after calling an external program (dos executable). Here is the sernario:

 

1. Init the main form A.

2. Form A call an external program (B) which run for about 2 seconds.

3. External progrmam return and A continue the normal code to the end of a init sub routine.

 

For some reason, the focus is not at form A after the external program B run. I have tried "Me.focus" and other method but still could not regain the focus to my form A. Is there anyway I can get it back after program B run?

Thank you very much for your help,

Try the form's BringToFront method.

Thank you for your help divil, but bringtofront() does not work because it only apply with in the form. The problem is the whole form goes to inactive window so it does not help.

Try the Activate method instead, that seems to do the trick.
