RE: Repost: How to regain focus when an HtmlHelp window is closed?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply.
I have received your project and help file. After runing your program, I
found the problem existed. The main form can't regain focus after the
help window is closed. But after I modify the filename in your program to
open another help file on my machine , the main form can regain focus when
the help window is closed.
It seems that the problem that the main form can't regain focus may be
caused by the help file "map_ID_test_chm.chm".

I noticed that help file "map_ID_test_chm" behaves a little different from
my help file in the below test.

Double-click my help file in Windows Explorer, and then close it. The focus
returns to the Windows Explorer(the title bar of the Windows Explorer is
activated). The same test on the help file "map_ID_test_chm" gives a
different result. After I close the help file "map_ID_test_chm", the focus
doesn't return to the Windows Explorer and I don't know where it goes.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
