Open Window – does not get ToTop Event
Hi Kevin,
No, it is pretty typical. I believe that it has something to do with the
interaction of my Toolbar window returning control with Window B after
pressing the button to Open Window C.
I was able to eliminate the issue by adding a Bring to Front Window C
command right after the Open Window C command.
At this point I am still curious as to the behavior, but at least I have a
workaround.

Hi Michael
Does window C have a different window attribute, perhaps?
Does this same behaviour appear with other window combinations?
