.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / December 2005IVsWindowFrams.ShowNoActivate doesn't seem to work
Hi all, I'm having a problem with IVsWindowFrame.ShowNoActivate function in VS 2005 Final. I'm trying to use it in order to show the document window without transferring focus to it, but it doesn't work as expected. Docs say that it 'Shows or makes a window visible and brings it to the top, but does not make it the active window.', but for me it only does the first part - the document appears among the tabs of the code editor, but it isn't the active tab (not sure what is meant under 'brings it to the top'). What I'm looking for is a way to make the specified document window active, but don't transfer focus to it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Dmitry, >What I'm looking for is a way to make the specified document window >active, but don't transfer focus to it. If you want to active one specified document window, why not try the general convention--using the EnvDTE.Window object to locate that window, then call the Activate method: Window.Activate http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/envdte.window.activate.aspx Thanks!

Hello Gary, as I said, I want to make a window active, but _not_ transfer the input focus to it. As far as I remember (ok, I'll try it again) Window.Activate behaves just like IVsWindowFrame.Show - it _does_ transfer the focus. So the original question remains.

Update: just checked, and Window.Activate works indeed the way I supposed and not the way I want it. That is, it tranfers the focus to the document window. Is there any way to open a document window and make it the currently active in the text editor, but leave the focus where it currently is? Thanks.

Hi Dmitry, >Is there any way to open a document window and make >it the currently active in the text editor, but leave the focus >where it currently is? I have checked VS SDK documentation on this issue, it appears there haven't any other approaches could activate a VS document windows without setting focus to it. Thanks!
