Bringing new browser window to top

[Cronoslogic]

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble with an app I'm working on. I'm using the Vitalize object to open a URL in a new window. The new window starts to open on top of my application, but then my application comes back to top. Is there a way of keeping my application behind the new window when it pops up?

Thanks,
Joe

Window Control Object

Yeah, been there, done that. Can't control app window from not coming back to top. The only thing you can do is minimize the app window so the spawned browser window is on top.

This was never a problem with Browser 2 object from 3EE. Yes, I know the code is lost. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

In the window control object use Position -> Bring Window To Back.

Have you tried using the big box object?

[Cronoslogic]

Yeah, I've tried everything possible with all the window objects, functions, you nameit. The only semi-acceptable approach is minimizing the window. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but it may be my only choice. I'll take a look at the Bigbox object though.

Thanks,
Joe

Good news! The Big Box object works exactly the way I want it to. Basically the exact same way Browser 2 would work in MMF 1.5. Anyone else with this browser in front after opening a web page should use Big Box. If you want your application to stay on top when opening a browser, use the Vitalize object.

Thanks for the tip!

Take care,
Joe

Glad it worked :-)

You can use JavaScript in the window you want on top to bring it to the top. It's been a while since I needed code that did that but it can be done with a very small strip of code if I remember correctly. I think you can just put...

onBlur="self.focus()"

in the body tag of the HTML.


Hope that is what you looking for.
