PTGen-Window stealing window focus was created by solarjoe

Hello,

I have another question and hope that you can help me.

During parametric runs the PTGen Optimization window
is always stealing the window focus, which is slightly annoying

Is there a way to prevent this?

Kind regards,
Joe

Hi Joe,

As you observed, when you run PTGen from a SamUL script using the PtOptimize() function, the Command window takes focus for the few seconds that PTGen is running and displays itself on top of other windows that are open on your desktop.

That can be annoying if your script takes a long time to run and you want to use other programs on your computer while it is running.

For now, there is not a way to change this behavior.

Thanks,
Paul.

Hello Paul,

ok, thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, my scripts take quite a long time, as I am running
parametric calculations of 2 variables on Solar Tower plants.

Maybe a solution could be provided sometime.

Kind regards,
Joe

Hello,

just one more comment on this:

I banished SAM into my virtual machine ( www.virtualbox.org ), so far
this works like a charm and I can minimize it

Kind regards,
Joe
