OnKillFocus, not working with topmost window
Hi, I have a Dlg, and i used SetWindowpos(...) to ensure that it is the top most window. But, i also want to ensure that i never looses the focus for that window. If i click on another window and want the focus to return to my window until the user has finished with it. How could that be done? Many Thanks Sims

I've never done it, so I can't tell > you how, but now you know what you're looking for... > Hi, Thanks for your input. I don't think i want such drastic actions. What i was after was to be the top most window, (and have the focus), for a selected window. For example, lets say that i start the calculator, i want my application to display a dialog box and force the user to acknowledge it b4 he can do anything. I can get the window of the calculator but i cannot force the focus to remain on my dialog box. Sims

Graphing work and remaining work over time
I would like to generate a graph showing total actual work and remaining work for a top level task over time (week), This would enable me to show the projected remaining work through the duration of the project as it decreases from N to 0, and show the actual work completed though the duration of the project as it increases from 0 to N. The canned visual reports don't allow me to do this (that I can see anyway). Maybe I'm missing something. I also can't see how to customize a visual report that will do what I want.

GP8 Manufacturing
Hello Everybody. Our Shop works 5 days a week (closed weekends). We have a WC that works 6 days a week (down Sundays only). We have setup both the Shop and WC Calendars to reflect this reality. We would expect that, when scheduling an MO that routes thru this WC, the WC calendar will override the Shop Calendar? However, our tests are not showing this to be true - We use a Backwards Infinite Scheduling Method and it always skips the weekend when calculating the start day of an MO regardless of the WC. Does anyone have any experience working with the WC Calendars? Please share your wis...

OnSetFocus(), OnKillFocus()
Hi, I have a standard MDI app. My view class is CFormView based. I have a microsoft chart activex control placed on top of the form. In the CFormView class I have a handler for OnSetFocus() and OnKillFocus(). I have this strange behaviour where if I click on another view in my app, the previous view that had focus first gets a kill focus message, then gets a set focus message somehow! It should just get a kill focus and that is it when losing focus. I have no idea why this is happening, but without the control present, the focus problem goes away and the set/kill focus messages are receive...

Moving Exchange 5.5 on NT4 to new Windows 2000 Server.
