Prevent a window from being activable

Targets Windows
1

I have developed a virtual keyboard, but each time I click on it, it snatches activation. Obviously, that is not how it should work. I tried SetWindowPos with SWP_NOACTIVATE, but that works only when setWindowPos, and at the next click, the window activates as usual.

I posted the question on SO, and someone advised :

Return MA_NOACTIVATE for the WM_MOUSEACTIVATE message.

I looked up WM_MOUSEACTIVATE in Msdn at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645612(v=vs.85).aspx and it looks like that is indeed what is needed.

Now my problem is to implement it.

Paul Lefebvre showed me how to trap messages in https://forum.xojo.com/13860-prevent-window-from-moving?search=grab

I added the WndProcSubclassWFS and looked at msg in the WndProc method that is created by the interface. It gets lots of values, but I do not see any &h21.

What am I missing ?

TIA

OK. As usual, posting a question reveals the answer.

I do see dec. 33, and passingConst SWP_NOACTIVATE (3) as returnValue, together with Return True, the window no longer activates :slight_smile:
