Question

Bringing active window to the front

I am sure there is a simple solution to this but I have already spent way too much time on it today so I thought I would ask the group. In J Link I have created a drawing from a template and I am displaying it using the drawing create option DRAWINGCREATE_DISPLAY_DRAWING. I am also able to activate it using session.GetModelWindow(drawing).Activate() but I can not seem to get it to be the window that is viewed. It is always behind the window of the model that I used to create the drawing. Once I have the handle to the window how do I bring it to the front so that it is not only active but also viewable.


Thanks


Scott

I think this might help. Tools, Customize Screen, All Commands
Select "List of Current Windows" and drag to the end of toolbar




Every window that you have open is displayed in the toolbar as shown
below.



Select the file and it will bring it forward and automatically activate
it.

Hope this helps.

Scott,
I don't know how to do it in J-Link but I do know Pro/TOOLKIT. Here's
what I would do in Pro/TOOLKIT:

1. Create the drawing with ProDrawingFromTmpltCreate(). No options were
passed to this function like PRODWGCREATE_DISPLAY_DRAWING.
2. Optional - Retrieve the drawing with ProMdlRetrieve(). There was a
bug with the drawing creation API and this subsequent call to
ProMdlRetrieve() will initialize internal variables which would allow the
creation of detail entities (TAN 140708).
3. Create a new window with ProObjectwindowCreate().
4. Set the new window as current with ProWindowCurrentSet().
5. Display the drawing with ProMdlDisplay().

Since J-Link functionality is based upon Pro/TOOLKIT functionality then I
would follow this Pro/TOOLKIT code to see if that solves the problem.
