Question Focusing common dialog control? Possible?


When I start common dialogs open file dialog, it loses its focus. How can I restore it to the top of all the other windows?

the common dialog showopen should be vbmodal. Is it losing focus to other vb windows or other applications?

It's quite complicated how I actually call the dialog to open. I have 2 applications: first one is standard exe and the second one activex exe.
The dialog is called through activex exe when it's activated in the standard exe. And to make this even more complicated, the calling is delayed by the SetTimer API so the function acts as multithreaded..
Oh man, I think I just lost focus with you guys

Maybe I should try open dialog API wrapper and see how that works...
