I was at the Boston introduction party yesterday, so I got my first look at OS/2 2.0. It looked and acted very much like MSWindows. One of the things that I cannot do with windows that I would like to be able to do is have a window that is partially obscured become the active window (i.e. recieve keyboard input). The main reason I would like to do this to allow a user interface that allows me to just move the mouse to the window and make it active without clicking in it (okay, I'm a little lazy, but it makes a difference), but there are other reasons. Is there a way to make the window active without having it pop into the foreground? Can somebody who has used OS/2 2.0 for a period of time answer this? Can an IBMer answer this? Thanks, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Jeff Griglack | "The best kind of friend is like iron sharpening| |jeff@fang.clearpoint.com | iron" -- "The Reptiles and I" by Shriek Back | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
