Message box focus

[ken gray]

I have a macro that pops up a message box and waits for a y/n response, however, it doesn't always appear with focus. How can I make it appear with focus? Also, how can I make it highlight a different button?

thanks

Standard message box obeys foreground window lock feature that doesn't allow non-foreground application to steal focus. You can disable it in QM Options/Runtime. Alternatively, create function with trigger

Code:

Copy      Help

!+#32770^ /QM

and text

Code:

Copy      Help

act val(_command)

. It will activate every QM message box and dialog box.

Third argument can be numeric, and it can be combination of MB_ flags that are defined in WinConstants function (if no, they are in winapiQM.txt file). For example, following code shows message with default button 2:

Code:
