Hey there,

Could you share what you’ve tried so far?

Thanks.

edit: maybe this will help.

Hi,

i attached a test patch,
you need to adjust the paths. the FreeVK.exe works but the Top.vbs script doesnt.
Its a script that moves a given window on top af all windows.
so you need to go into the script and adjust it to an existing window
that is already open. In my case, its “Google Earth Pro”

My goal is just to keep the google earth window on top,
couldnt find a way to
do this in vvvv.

Should be doable with pinvoke SetWindowPos for example. Check out either the “official” PInvoke.User32 or Vanara.PInvoke.User32.

Cool,

didnt know that, i found an old threat about focuses windows and there i could find help

Threat:

Set focus of renderer in vl

Is there a way to set focus on a renderer? Ie, I have three output screens, and I want to set which one is the focused screen so that the keystrokes from that screen are processed. I have figured out how to tell which one is in focus, but not how to set which one is the focus… Does that make sense?
