I want to make a hotkey for the set trainer form as SetForegroundWindow.
Because the game always captures the cursor, so this option in the trainer will be useful

But as i found in myself, CE exe trainer won't use SetForegroundWindow for his form, only another windows, like games, notepad. etc.

I tried using

Code:

x=findWindow(nil,'UDF1')
executeCodeLocal('SetForegroundWindow',x)

also

Code:

w=getWindow(getForegroundWindow(), GW_HWNDFIRST)
pid=getOpenedProcessID()
game_window_handle = 0

while w and (w~=0) do
if getWindowProcessID(w)==pid then
game_window_handle = w
end
w=getWindow(w,GW_HWNDNEXT)
end
executeCodeLocal('SetForegroundWindow',game_window_handle )

Nothing works

Maybe CE have default option for make his for as SetForegroundWindow?

Maybe (not tested):

Code:

function getAttachedProcessName()
local m = enumModules();
if (#m > 0) then
return m[1].Name;
end
return nil;
end

local game = 'solitaire.exe'

function ActivateApp(p)
p = getAttachedProcessName()
-- print(p)
if p ~= game or p == nil then
showMessage('No process opened')
return nil
else
--executeCodeLocal('LockSetForegroundWindow',p[0])
x=findWindow(nil,'UDF1')
executeCodeLocalEx('LockSetForegroundWindow',x)
end
end

-- example
UDF1.show()
ActivateApp('solitaire.exe')

Does not work. I put it script on a timer (3 sec) and generate an exe, and run this exe. But the form is still in the background.

Also i tried simple

Code:

x=findWindow(nil,'UDF1')
executeCodeLocal('SetForegroundWindow',x)

in a timer on exe trainer, too doesn't work.

try

Code:

UDF1.bringToFront()

or try

Code:

UDF1.FormStyle='fsSystemStayOnTop'

also, UDF1.Handle gets you the handle, no need to findWindow

From this all works only

Code:

function UDF1_CETimer1Timer(sender)
UDF1.FormStyle='fsSystemStayOnTop'
end

But the focus is still on the game window and the mouse cursor is still captured
I thought SetForegroundWindow would switch to the trainer form and make a free cursor, but it not work for me.

***********************************************************
Just tested on CE 6.8.3 this script

Code:

x=findWindow(nil,'UDF1')
executeCodeLocalEx('LockSetForegroundWindow',x)

Works perfectly and the effect is as from

Code:

UDF1.FormStyle='fsSystemStayOnTop'

But focus and cursor still on game window.
Is this a normal effect? Maybe the game shouldn't make the cursor free.
