focus on which drawing

[dbroada]

yet another VB.NET question (must try to find a book) but one I am sure can be answered by our LISP or VBA guys.

 

I am being forced into using MDI mode for opening drawings although I normally work in SDI. If neccessary my code changes to SDI = 0 and opens another drawing BUT the newly opened drawing immediately looses focus.

 

What do you do to bring the newly opened drawing to the foreground?

before this reaches page 2 I'll reply to my own post.

 

This may not be the best way but it works...

May try to retain current drawing's ID, open the new one and restore focus to first one just after - unfortunately I'm not able to provide you a .Net example.
