 <title>files opened with ShellExecuteA (shell32.dll) appear behind Progress Window</title>
 <link>http://www.oehive.org/node/1070</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi All,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m using Progress window, which uses ShellExecuteA (shell32.dll), to&lt;br /&gt;
open Word and Excel files on a WinXP client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem is that the file opens successfully, but the window is placed&lt;br /&gt;
behind the application i.e. Word, Excel. Its pushed back and goes back to the Progress window where I pressed a button to open a file. File application should stay in front until I close it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you know how to do this? If ShellExecuteA returns the handle, I would be able to use setforeground to set it, but it is not possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;many thanks&lt;br /&gt;
Melly&lt;/p&gt;
