Bringing App to front on Showing a window
« on: February 12, 2024, 09:19:48 am »
I'm opening a window in an app I'm working on and I use bring to front and yet it still opens behind any of the other active processes.  Is there a way to bring an app to the forefront programmatically so when you show a window it's automatically in focus?

I don't have any code to offer because I have no idea how to  do this.

I am using BringToFront, on timer, and on FormShow for the first time it does show but that doesn't work.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer, thanks.

I had the same problem, see https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,65227.0.html

For Windows there was a solution in reply #1, for Linux no solution was found.
