Comatose,

If you post a small reproducer script showing the problem I will take a look to see if I can do anything.

I use this usefull UDF in some of my projects, but now I noticed serious/critical problem in some combination:

My application (my the biggest ever) freeze (stop responding and CPU usage 50%) after opening child window with buttons (where this UDF was apllied by _NoFocusLines_Set) and switching to other opened application and back to my application (Alt+Tab in Windows or clicked on taskbar icon).

Removing _NoFocusLines_Set() for all buttons in this child window solved this freezing ...

Note: It seems that this kind of problem/bug is only on Windows 7, on Windows 10 it seems OK.

 

My (not ideal) solution is to remove this UDF completely and on all buttons after clicking on them immediatelly set focus to other control (not icon button) typically ListView by GUICtrlSetState($ListView1, $GUI_FOCUS).

 

Now I have no time for narrowing this problem on some small reproducing script and my application is TOO BIG 

so I just want to generally inform you about this problem ...

Zedna,

If you can just give me the line where you create the child window I can take a look and see if I can reproduce the problem.
