FOCUS an external APP possible or not?

Postby ThE ScReW on Thu Dec 09, 2004 12:17 pm

I searched a lot in the forum but never found a descent answer to the FOCUS problem.

Is there an event in xlobby yet or an extra argument witch we have to add when we make an event > os > execute file > .... So we can start the app and holf it in focus until we close it?

Anybody?

It's for my wintv2000 and the radio app from hauppage witch i would like to open in xlobby but not fullscreen. And i would like do raise or down the volume with the xlobby master volume control without the app in front get's into the back... :?:

the sendfocus utility works just fine, Screw...I tested it earlier. If you are opening the program though you need to add a delay in order for the program to load and the class to register itself before the sendfocus can recognize it

I used:

sendfocus "foobar2000 v0.8.3"

and it popped foobar to the top just fine
