I have a parent window, which allows me to use the SetItemData and GetItemData very nicely. If the item matches certain criteria, I create a child window. I would like focus to be changed to the child window as soon as it is created. I have tried many methods, but to no avail. The child is a listbox style, with LBS_Notify and a bunch of other flags. The only way (discovered by playing) to set focus to the child seems to be grabbing it by a corner which does *not* overlap the parent, on the title bar, moving it across the screen. *Then* and only then has focus changed. One other problem I am having is that sometimes when I move a window, a 'ghost' of it is left behind on its parent (just like a child to barf on his parent, I know this), which doesn't go away. None of the child/parent 'examples' in either Petzold or Norton are industrial strength enough for this. Any help out there, or other suggested readings?
