Oh yeah I forgot to add on to my last reply...
If you are using a "normal" window (ie not drawn yourself) and you want
the window to stay active, you need to handle the WM_NCACTIVATE message...

if Msg = WM_NCACTIVATE then
    return( w32Func(xDefWindowProc,{hwnd,WM_NCACTIVATE,TRUE,lParam}) )
end if
