I have no idea if this will help or not, but if the original poster can
either get the windows handle or find the handle from the class/title of
the window, they can use Win API calls to gain focus. [I'm assuming this
is a regular WinAPI window.]
Something like:
var
h: Thandle;
begin
h := FindWindow( nil, 'Graph Window Title' ); //replace with your
window title
if ( h <> 0 ) then begin
//bring the window to the front
if not(SetForegroundWindow( h )) then
writeln( 'Failed to bring window to front.' );
//give the window focus (i.e. remove focus from any controls)
if not( SendMessage( h, WM_SETFOCUS, 0, 0 ) = 0 ) then
writeln( 'Failed to set focus to window.' );
end
else
writeln('Window was not found.');
end;
You can substitute the 'WM_SETFOCUS' part to use the handle of the
actual control you wish to have focus, or leave it out and the default
windows functionality will happen.

[fpc-pascal]FPC for a middleware application
Hi All, I am looking for some code in FP to develope a client/server (3-tier) application (I need only the middleware part), could someone point me? Thanks! jk ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

RE: [fpc-pascal]FPC for a middleware application
If the indy components compile under FPC, they could be used. Take a look at : http://www.indyproject.org/Articles.html I have a 3 tier system I'm writing in Delphi currently. Client Tier connects to Server Tier with the data stored in an interbase server. All 3 items can be distributed onto separate servers/desktops. It's been fairly painless with Indy so far. Hardest part was the transport protocol between the client and server. Then again this *is* all in Delphi, so your milage may vary. If you want something more exotic, you could easily add more logical layers using a similar model.

Sebastian Guenther is working on fpXML-RPC: This is functional, and can be used for 3 tier programming. In fact he uses it for exactly that.

Re: [fpc-pascal]How to set focus to graph window?
Thanks, Florian and Matt, for your help. I used Matt's approach to bring the window to the top (works), thus avoiding the need to change the original sources. And, I can print some additional information for the user before opening the graph window (I have a wrapper function for InitGraph, anyway). Bernhard "Matt D.

Re: [fpc-pascal]How to set focus to graph window?
Hi, although others have already pointed out a few solutions, here're my two cents... > I'm using the graph unit to provide graphing capabilities for my program > (Win 32 platform). The graph window opens as a separate window, which is > ok for me - except one point: The graph window gets opened with the > least important position in Z-order (ie: all other windows are in front > of this window). > > Is there a way to set the focus to the freshly opened graph window from > within my program? (eg: open a graph window and define this as the > foremost window, in front even of the opening program) Graph (Win32 version) publishes the variable "mainwindow" in its interface section. So why not use it? E.g. uses windows; SetForegroundWindow(mainwindow); // bring window into foreground SetFocus(mainwindow); // set focus Probably worth trying... after a quick look at the sources I think that this variable holds the handle to the graph window, doesn't it?

No, they are even digging in deeper. They say they'll be open (and e.g. base the new word format on XML), but then they pervert XML so that only Microsoft and partners can process the word documents. > i have programmed and installed a peer-to-peer solution between two PC's > using windows me.

Re: [fpc-pascal]How to set focus to graph window?
Thanks for the link, but that's not the case for me. My program is partly text-based and partly graph-based, so it's no "dummy" dos window for me... But I found a solution that works for me, thanks anyone for your input.
