COM Server prevents application window from coming to front!

[jonscott8]

Here's what's happening:

I instantiate a COM object from an Out-of-Process COM Server in the start-up(main .prg) of my application while SCREEN=OFF.

Immediately before issuing READ EVENTS, I set _Screen.Visible = .T..

My application becomes visible(to the taskbar); however, remains behind any previously visible windows. Basically, it doesnt receive keyboard focus.

If I remove the COM object instantiation, my application window comes to the front as it should.

I've tried the following API functions to force my window to the front:

BringWindowToTop - No luck
SetForegroundWindow - Makes the window flash (blink)
ShowWindow - No luck

Any suggestions or SWAGs?? Jon Hawkins

Jon,
There is an example on the UT that supposedly works, you could also try SetActiveWindow(), look it up in the API.
Good Luck
