I call pg_dump to create backup copies from my application using Windows CreateProcess() API call.
After pg_dump finishes, Alt+F ( to open File menu) and other Alt key combinations in my application stop working. If I use Alt+Tab to switch to other application and then back to my application, Alt+F normal behaviour is restored. The command which I use to backup database is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\pg_dump.exe -Z9 -b -v -f "c:\my document\myfile.backup" -F c -h myserver -U postgres mydb I pass password to pg_dump using environment variable PGPASSWORD I pass only some Windows environment variables to pg_dump, maybe some critical is missing. Any idea how to make Alt key to work in my application immediately after calling pg_dump ?
