Jon,
This might be a hack but after I use openWindow to open a child window I
immediately use setFocus to set the focus to the child window. That
seems to do the trick.

Jonas,
I tried using setFocus right after creating it with no luck. I'm using
version 0.55.1 of Win32Lib. What is weird though is that if i maximize
the child window the top bar will flash the blue color of an active
window but then go back to gray. Is this an error in win32lib?

Jon,
Now looking back, from your example you had the create routines coded as
:
WIN = create( Window, "Parent", 0,0,300,300,0),
CHILD = create( Window, "Child", 10,10,100,100, WS_CHILD)
In reality the create routine is defined as:
create( Window, "Title", parent, x, y, width, height, flags)
Is your example an exact quote from your program? I am assuming not.
Any way, you might try the following change to your parent/child
relationship (not I added the parent parm to your example):
WIN = create( Window, "Parent", 0, 0,0,300,300,0),
CHILD = create( Window, "Child", WIN, 10,10,100,100, {WS_THICKFRAME} )
The WS_THICKFRAME gives the child window a nice raised window
appearance.
