I have a window inside a panel. Why? because the panel is the window's
parent (I used setparent). This works fine..however..
When I maximize the form inside the panel using:
ShowWindow(HandleOfWin, sw_maximize);
The window inside the panel maximizes but sets focus to the window! I want
to maximize, but not set focus.
Is there a way to do that? my temporary work around is to just set focus
back to my form after sending that sw_maximize message. This isn't the best
solution though, because that makes the window flash and have a temporary
flicker.
I see in the windows API help that there is a
-SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
but no
-SW_SHOWMAXNOACTIVE
I don't know why they would have SW_Maximize in the API if it's no different
than SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED. I would have thought sw_maximize might have maximized
the window without setting focus to it.
Is there some other way using another API message, so I can maximize a
window without setting focus or activating it?
