This is a feature of Windows. It can be set so the icon in the taskbar flashes instead of bringing that window to the foreground - like you described. This can be fixed by importing the SETFOCUS.REG file (located in the Girder directory) into the registry. An alternative is to use TweakUI to change this setting.

TweakUI 1.33 for Win9x/ME/NT/2K (http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=226)
PowerToys for WinXP (Includes TweakUI) (http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=710)

Greetings,

This is my first post, so excuse my ignorance. I am in the process of integrating in IRMAN with girder. The deal is, that I want to switch between applications on a button press. I've come up with a script that checks if the window is present, and if so, brings it in focus. If not, it starts the application.

For the most part, everything works, however, under certain conditions, the the window starts blinking in the task-bar, and will not come in focus. i havent isolated the problem, but it only seems to happen when girder is not open (i.e. it's in the taskbar only). Not sure what to make of this... maybe it's timing related. I even put in a wait for window statement too.

I am enclosing the file, if anyone can help, I would be most appreciative.

Regards
-Ted
