wfsp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a Tk app. How can another script detect if it is running and, if so, move the focus to it?

Using Win32::Process::Info I can "see" the info for the app.

Could anyone help with the keywords to search on to get me started?

Using win32/activestate 5.8

Thanks

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
