Retain focus on Sublime Text

[erinata]

Thanks for you guys' reply!

I am on window 7 x64....and I tried the

Code: Select all

webbrowser.open(................)
sublime.set_timeout(partial(ctypes.windll.user32.SetForegroundWindow,sublime.active_window().hwnd(), 0), 500)


And it's not working

But for

Code: Select all

webbrowser.open(................)
sublime.set_timeout(partial(ctypes.windll.user32.SwitchToThisWindow,sublime.active_window().hwnd(), 0), 500)


After the webbrowser call, the sublime text editor become the foreground window...........but when I press up arrow or down arrow, I am still scrolling the browser output instead of move the caret on sublime text. How can this happen?

Oops, you're right.
I thought it works because my cursor still blink in ST2 after web browser launch but actually the focus is still in the browser.

I tried everything I know, now I'm clueless...

I also tried setfocus() .......etc. (in bizoo's commented code). They do not work....

Looks like I just need to press alt+tab to switch it then

Just a thought but perhaps switch these two lines:

Code: Select all

webbrowser.open(................)
sublime.set_timeout(partial(ctypes.windll.user32.SetForegroundWindow,sublime.active_window().hwnd(), 0), 500)

and possibly increase the delay.
