Focus - ob what window?
Focus - ob what window?
(OP)
We have a windows application where one window does signal acquisition and saves files when triggered and another window is used to view and manipulate the saved files while the first window is still active measuring.
One question that is being discussed is if it is possible to have focus on the acquisition window while working with the viewer window.
Example. I use the viewer window to open a newly created file (File/Open File/select filename/Open) and then I get a message saying that data may be incomplete. I click the OK in that message box and is then returned - I think - to the viewer window where I expect the opened file's data to appear.
Now, I am being told that it is not at all sure that I have focus on the viewer screen any more. That is something I cannot understand. Can anyone explain?

What happens is that the graph that I thought would appear doesnt appear and the background (grid, scales etcetera) is replaced by a big black square. Perhaps a black hole?
Someone said it could have to do with not having focus on the right window. It is in the SW guy's knee now.
