MMF builds forcibly alt-tab me.

[SEELE]

It seems that anything built from either version (pro and normal) of mmf2 under any graphics mode and on all my computers stops me from playing any game which needs to change resolution.

For example if i were to just build an empty app, run it, then run a game (for example warcraft3) it will alt-tab me back to my app every time i try to play...

This makes it impossible for me to make any long running apps (like windows services).

If anyone can think of a reason or workaround i would be greatfull.

WIndows services should not need to change the resolution.

It must be DirectX conflict, I think...
I made a hidden running program but when I tried to play Age of Empires III it shown an error message : DirectDraw initialization failed. When I terminated my MMF2 program, Age of Empires III runs fine.

*DarkeSoft, it isn't a windows service i was making the connect only to explain what my app does.

*Ran_TH, no matter what display i use it will happen, also there isn't actually a error is simply takes focus over the open app(if that app tries to change resolution mode).

I also noticed it only does it on the actual refresh frame (if i sleep the app it works fine) however this obviously makes it useless.

Okey, worked it out.

The answer lied in attaching the application to the desktop (using the window control object)
