Description Dmitry Yakimov 2006-03-10 05:51:55 UTC 
I'm using SDL library on Pocket PC (Acer n30, Arm). I have created a window
(240x320 fullscreen) and I have drawn to it. Everything has worked. But, when
I have connected e.g. USB to RS485 converter to the USB host port (firsttime)
the Pocket PC has opened the dialog box and asked for the driver name. This
dialog box was under my SDL window. My problem is, that this dialog box got
the focus and my SDL window lost it and I'm not able to got the focus back. I
have seen the SDL window, but I can't e.g. push the button on it.

I there any posibility, to catch any "focusing" event or to focus the SDL window.

I have tryed SDL_ACTIVEEVENT but I didn't catch the event.
