working with two windows - martmen - 06-07-2025
Hello LitDev,
when working with two windows, the current window must be activated. In the first window, I create controls, such as a text shape. In the second window, I create a ListView. The second window is the active window. Can I simply change the text of the text shape, or do I need to activate the first window first?
The question is: when does a window need to be activated?
I’m looking forward to the answer.
Best regards,
Martin

Hi,
Yes, the window needs to be active - GW commands and commands on objects in a GW apply to the active window.
