Install Routine Hangs

[Obviator]

i have an older application that creates a splash screen over the whole desktop then puts the install screens on the "splash." Once i activate the real install screen by mousing over and clicking the "Next" button everything operates well, but i cannot seem to WinActivate() the initial install screen.

Window title is "Welcome", some text, and 2 buttons, "Next" and "Cancel." i've tried everything i can think of and need a clue. Partial code:

WinActivate("Welcome")
ControlSend("Welcome", "", "[ID:1; Text: Next]")

After i click the "Next" button, everything operates normally; i just can't seem to get over this hurdle.

Thanks,

Dave

Try

WinSetOnTop("Welcome","",1)

Before WinActivate.
