Hi,

1)One for Billing App. and other for
2)the project.

Initially we log in with the project window.then we start transaction with the project window.after transaction we need to click a button on Billing Application,but the focus is still on the project window.How can we set the focus/KeyPressEvent to the Billing App?

Thanks,
ksh

Is the billing app also build by you so that can add some code to it?

No,It is just another MFC window,thats it.We do not have any code for that to add/modify.

Given the fact that I understand that you don't have the code of the Billing window...

I would find the window you want to activate (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633499(v=vs.85).aspx[^]) and then use the returned HWND to call ShowWindow and show it again in the state you want: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633499(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Hope this helps.
