Z-Order of Windows [message #334070] Mon, 19 January 2009 08:39 Go to next message

I've asked this question in another newsgroup but haven't got an answer
there. Maybe someone here can help me?

I have two workbench windows in an RCP app. Window B is inactive and
partially hidden behind window A. We've implemented an asynchronous
refresh that is triggered by a server. Now, if window B gets a request
to do a refresh it loads all it's data and displays the changed data in
its views. When this happens, however, window B gains focus and is moved
to the front so that window A is now hidden behind window B.

My question now is how I can influence the z-order of workbench windows.
Is there a way to do this?

Kind regards
Bianca

Bianca,

I'd say the problem is the gaining focus thing, so I would try to figure
out why that's happening and prevent it, not try to treat the symptoms
with z-order manipulation.
