hi there all,

I have a small program that displays in a window a line from a txt file. After 1 min, it skips to the next word in the text file and displays that - but in doing so, it makes the application active again which takes the focus off wateva application i am using at the time. This is very annoying.

Is there some code that will make it cycle through the txt file and display, but keep the program in the background so it is cycling and displaying but it doesnt take the focus off watever i am doing? Even typing this is impossible because every minute it pops up and interupts my typing.

Thanks for your help, Shane.
