DirectQ, auto focus suggestion

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Another feature suggestion that I find quite handy is usually no ones playing quake, I connect and I would ready up by choosing a color in CA. In Qrack, if someone shows up and a match begins it autofocus's or brings to the front the quake window / program goes back to fullscreen, from an alt-tab.


I dont know how it happens,just know it is a neat feature that helps a gamer get Quake going without also ignoring the person who shows up to me Alt-Tabbed

Eeeew, bad idea. I bet somebody got a really nice bonus for that feature - The Old New Thing - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

I can see where you're coming from, but the whole idea of stealing the focus from whatever you're doing and rudely shoving the program in your face revolts against my sensibilities.

What about a notification area alert instead? It would need to wait on 2.0.0 as new features for 1.9.x are frozen and will remain so.

if (GetActiveWindow() != mainwindow)
FlashWindow(mainwindow, true);
should be a sufficient, simple, solution that doesn't annoy people.

Well, I don't mind a variant. The concept is, like most other people now days in order to get a game of quake going, connecting + idling for a few is a requirement.

Anything that can assist would be greatly appreciated.

Yes,im eagerly awaiting the new release of DirectQ! I'm gonna snag it as soon as it's released.

DQ is the only thing keeping me in the MS world.
MH keeps making it better than it has to be,like some Harvard computer science engineer cooking crank in his bathtub.
