Sometimes when I double click on a script pack to import, Import Script wizard starts but flashes in the taskbar, I mean its window isn't being activated. So I may have to click the button on the taskbar to activate the window and import the script. But this occurs sometimes, not everytime. Did anyone experience this problem?

And the screenshot, do we really need it though...

AFAIK this is a general Windows bug when launching programs from other programs.

I usually find it happens when I launch programs from Firefox, or click links in WLM...

actually, I fixed this last week for version .

/slaps head.

My bad, sorry.

Guess I'll need to work out why it happens in my custom-build RSS reader then.

Good.

I was also going to test importing preferences packs and sound packs before opening this thread but I forgot it. I have just double clicked on a preferences pack now, and yes, its button also flashed at taskbar. Then I tried sound pack, then again preferences pack and lastly a script pack, but I couldn't make any of them flash. Remember,

So I think this bug occurs not only for scripts but also for other importing actions of MsgPlus!.

I hope, your solution fixed all of these. Thanks

to andrewdodd13: the problem is not a bug. It comes from the fact that Windows now does not let any application set the focus in their window. Thsi is to prevent annoying software stealing the focus for no reason. So if your process is not considered to be the foreground process, Windows will jsutflash the user instead.

The easy way to fix this is to call AllowSetForegroundWindow.

Errmmm, if user is not signed in or Messenger is not running while double clicking these packs to import, the associated warning windows about the problem may appear at taskbar but not pop-up visually sometimes. So instead of clicking "OK" button in them, going to taskbar to close these windows can be very annoying sometimes. I think you must fix these too.
