Bring window to front and focus when clicked

rossb · 21 April 2010, 10:55

Hi,

Whlst not strictly a CWB question, is there any util/patch that is compatible with ClassicWB ADV SP that will bring a window to the front and focus it if clicked on a la MS windows? I'm sure I came across one but can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Thanks,

Ross.

ClickToFront, the part of Workbench. If I remember well, it is in Utilities / Commodities drawer.

It's in Tools -> Commodities. 'Default' behaviour in CWB is that a double-click will bring it to front.

Guys,

Thankyou, will try the double click, didn't try that.

Thanks,

Ross.

You can also try Window2Front which has more options and lets you bring windows to the front with a single click so it's more like Windows/OSX/Linux. http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/Window2Front

Or if you'd prefer something a little more unusual but a little quicker if you get used to it, Meridian lets you set mouse-gestures to just about any action or command, including swapping between windows or opening a new browser tab in IBrowse. http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/meridian

Yeah, as TCD said, click to front is already part of the ClassicWB - it comes as part of the Mousewheel program which is enabled by default. If you choose to use another utility for this, disable the mousewheel click-to-front setting in it's tool types (by default it's in the WBStartup startup drawer) or by disabling mousewheel in the settings menu.
