Gerry- Yes, I'm using awt. toFront() is being called from class java.awt.Window. I've tried the deactivated event, but the problem is the form redraws itself loosing highlighted selections in a java.awt list component, and flashes behind and in front of the calling frame in a pretty annoying manner. I've considered Swing, but I don't want to move that direction quite yet, primarily because of it's lack of support on browsers right now, and since it's so new, it's probably still quite buggy. I'll let people work out the bugs with it before I dive too deep into it! I'm hoping by the time the Conference comes around to Denver, things will be more in "swing" with Swing. Thanks for the reply! -Scott. Gerry Mantha wrote: > Scott, I'll assume your not using Swing but awt?. Where are you calling > toFront()?
