This issue affects all versions of ECTR 5.2 / S4ECTR 1.1.


Question or Problem

Scenario:

  • You try to switch the Application.
    • For example from CAD to ECTR, Office to ECTR or ECTR to Office.
  • In ECTR you try to call a SAP GUI window.
    • For example "Display Document (SAP GUI)".
    • Show F4 help for an input field.
  • In the CAD system you call an ECTR window.
    • For example: "Create document" or "Add component".

Problem:

  • The called Application Window stays in the background.



Caused by

Window 10 release build 1809



Solution

Change the Windows Registry, see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/win10-1809-pop-up-window-behind-main-window-same/993b0275-0bae-46a5-8acc-7bf363f153bb .

Set Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout to decimal 0

Maybe a restart of the PC is required for this change to have an effect.
