oParent:SetFocus()?

[Ingo]

After creating and showing a nonmodal dialog I want to set the focus back
to the parent window.
1.
::oParent:SetFocus()
in the FormInitialize() method of the dialogwindow doesn't work
2.
::ExportDlg:=DelGer():New(Self)
::ExportDlg:Show()
::SetFocus()
in the parentwindow doesn't work too
Is there a simple way to set the focus back to the parent window after
showing
the childwindow?
Regards
Ingo

The event OnInitialize is launched when the form and all its controls are
created, but just before it's shown. So, *after* this event is processed,
the form is shown and the focus goes to it.

It's working fine here. Are you using the last version (PR6)?
BTW, the form's event OnShow may be used too to send back the focus to the
parent form.

Ignacio and Jose,
thanks for answering.
Your example works here too, but in my project it is a little bit more
complicated. From the menu of a mdi-container is calling a method of the
midi which calls a method in the childwindow which calls the nonmodal
dialogwindow.
I don't know why but I can not set the focus back to the childwindow.
Here a sample.
Please try it
Regards
Ingo

sorry for the delay.

I've just tested it. The matter is that a mdi child window is in fact a
child window owned by the mdi frame window, and when another popup window
gets focused, the focus is lost not only from the mdi child but also from
the mdi frame window.
So, to return back the focus to the mdi child window, you only need to set
focus to the mdi frame. That is, change in the line 27 of form2.prg from:
::SetFocus()
to:
::oParent:SetFocus()
