Hi

I've just started using VS.net, and have found that the IDE doesn't function well with the X-mouse functionality available through XP powertoys. In powertoys, I have the settings so that it will only activate the window under the mouse cursor, and not to raise the certain window. But VS.net misbehaves, activating and popping up as the foremost window once the cursor is in it's focus. I've noticed thate Platform SDK and others that sort of use the same kind of GUI components have the same problems too :-

Is there a workaround to this thing. Or do I have live with it

I'm sure lot's of you out there just have to have the X-mouse thingy..

Thanks

Thank you. We are aware of this issue and we are tracking it. It will
hopefully be addressed in a future release. At the moment there are no
workarounds.

I have no information about release plans or dates, but keep hoping, I've
seen some evidence of it being fixed, but I don't know when we will see it.
