No Focus On "Shell" Window

[Jim Seekamp]

Never mind...
It was a parent/child window problem elsewhere in the code that caused the problem!!

[Jim Seekamp]

I'm running an exe file from another exe file using the shell function:

cmd$="\path\program.exe"
y&=shell(cmd$,1)

Even using setwindowpos I can't get the "program.exe" to grab the focus!

setwindowpos hwnd&,%hwnd_top,0,0,0,0,%swp_nomove or %swp_nosize or %swp_noownerzorder

''''''''''''

Any ideas??
