<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't know if this will be any help
to you in this particular case but it may be of some interest.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I was using Scilab to control some hardware
and receive and display data coming back. The data was displayed
in a graphics window and I then had to enter some commands to the Scilab
console. The windows focus always ended up on the graphics window
and I had to keep putting it back on the console using the mouse: the
novelty of doing this quickly wore off.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My PC at the time was running Windows
XP and I had the following arrangement:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> In
a folder, a file called "focusonwindow.vbs" containing
these two lines:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Set
WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> WshShell.AppActivate
WScript.Arguments.Item(0)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">in the Scilab script the following line:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> host('cscript
/B focusonwindow.vbs ""Scilab""')</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and here ""Scilab""
is the name of the window (the console) to which the focus should be switched.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My current PC runs Windows 7 and I haven't
got around to re-implementing the above yet but I imagine something similar
will be possible.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't take any credit for the above.
At the time, I put a query on the forum (21 Feb. 2014) and received
a reply offering this solution so I thank the gentleman who helped me.
He suggested this webpage: </font><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/786368/how-to-bring-a-cmd-exe-window-to-top"><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/786368/how-to-bring-a-cmd-exe-window-to-top</font></a>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hi,<br>
<br>
I can run my .sce file which produces a graph from a file of data from
the (windows) command line using:<br>
<br>
scilex -f myscript.sce filename.rdat<br>
<br>
and that works except:<br>
<br>
Once the plot() executes and the graphic window appears, control and focus
returns to the interactive command line.<br>
<br>
That's okay; but it'd would be really nice if the focus remained on the
graphic window until it was closed and then the scilab shell exited automatically.
<br>
<br>
Is it possible to arrange for that to happen?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Buk.<br>
