First dialog appears behind mail window...

Question

For all of my VP C3PO's, the first time the any dialog or message box
apprears, it either appears minized or behind the Mail window. Once I
bring it to the front, all others work fine (until I restart Groupwise).
Anyone know how to "fix" this?

Answer 1

You can also pass the handle for your app to the setforegroundwindow
from the Win32 API (I think that's what it's called)
