RE: Reactivating or Returning Focus from Start Menu

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What happens when you click Activate in the Memory\List of running apps applet?

Are you setting the previous forms Text property to "" before calling your
subwindow? Windows Mobile will add each form to the list of running
applications which can cause problems for modal forms.

I have a smartphone application that montors unread SMS alerts much like a
pager. If you don't read an alert it bugs you - sound, vibrate,etc.

My problem is that once you start the application and then go onto other
uses of your phone (reading email, answering phone calls), I can't get the
application to come to the forefront (focus) again, from neither the
StartMenu nor the Task activate command.

The application has a main form, an alert form and two threads that monitor
unread SMS alerts.

Is there a forms message I'm getting from the StartMenu selection of the
application that I'm not catching when the application is running
