Set Focus to a VB application

[jl280328]

This is a shot in the dark, but we have a product that is written in VB 6. The product then a calls some webpages that are in the local host of the user's machine through IIS. The pages will always be on the local machine of the user like this. When the ASP pages are called from the VB application they come up communicate with some DLLs, create some PDFs and so on. My question is, is there a way that when a user clicks a button or something to transfer focus back to the VB application from the ASP pages?

there is no way I know of to reference objects within an executable from an ASP page. What you may be able to think up however is an event handler in the VB app that does something upon whatever it is your ASP page posts back to it. Say the ASP page sets a value in a database and only upon the focus returning to the VB app does it check for that value and act upon it

or if this is a intranet app you can validate (client side) all the applications the user has open and set focus to the one you want (the VB App) on a click event from the ASP page as a client side vbscript. I'm sure WMI could easily do that
