Hello Francis,
| Can someone tell me how to bring Lispworks or any application
| window in front of all other applications?
In its simplest, capi:activate-pane must do. I would recommend accompaning
it with the following:
(defun show-raise-restore (interface)
;;; Bring hidden or iconic interface to front restoring its
;; to last normal or maximized.
;; CAPI Bug? Maximized and hidden window becomes visible
;; but restored to normal size though doc states:
;; ...depending on how the interface was visible in the past.
(case (capi:top-level-interface-display-state interface)
((:hidden :iconic)
(setf (capi:top-level-interface-display-state interface) :restore))
(otherwise
(capi:raise-interface interface))))

Are you using MS Windows ? On Windows you can use the Win API function SetWindowPos with HWND_TOPMOST and SWP_NOMOVE I am not aware of a CAPI version of this, so you might have to use CAPI:SIMPLE-PANE-HANDLE and your own FLI definition of SetWindowPos cheers paulm At 08:59 07/10/2005, Francis Leboutte wrote: >Hello, > >Can someone tell me how to bring Lispworks or any application window in >front of all other applications? > >Thanks, > >Francis > > >______________________________________________________________________ >This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. >For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email >______________________________________________________________________
