I have a form that cannot activate but when pressing its taskbar button, it got the focus, how can i deactivate it so that the focus goes to the previous focused window.
Try this code for example
1- start new project
2- add Button1
3- paste the following code and run it
4- Run Notepad and press Button1 to send the letter A
5- Focus the Form1 by clicking its taskbar button.
Now i want to back the focus to the Notepad (or any previous focused window) when i click on Button1
Try this code for example
1- start new project
2- add Button1
3- paste the following code and run it
Code:
Public Class Form1
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim cCP As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
Const WS_EX_TOPMOST As Integer = &H8
Const WS_EX_NOACTIVATE As Integer = &H8000000L
cCP.ExStyle = cCP.ExStyle Or WS_EX_NOACTIVATE Or WS_EX_TOPMOST
Return cCP
End Get
End Property
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SendKeys.Send("A")
End Sub
End Class5- Focus the Form1 by clicking its taskbar button.
Now i want to back the focus to the Notepad (or any previous focused window) when i click on Button1
