[SDL] Losing focus because of a warning window - windows CE

[Marko Djukic]

I'll explain better what happens. When you take the battery out of the 
mobile device (to replace it with a fully charged one) it goes into 
suspend mode. You can also use the device on a cradle without the 
battery and it will also go into suspend if you take it off the cradle 
(basically you cut the power).
When you replace the battery and wake the device up, the application 
continues normally. But then a window pops up to warn you about a high 
current demand which caused the device to suspend (removal of battery or 
removal of device with no battery from the cradle). It pops up in front 
of the application we're running.
Redrawing the window with the application helps to regain focus, but the 
warning window is still in front of our application (which runs full 
screen) and you have to 'click' (touch) on our application (behind the 
window) to bring it in front. We want to force our application to be 
always in front, or at least hide the warning windows as fast as 
possible and bring the application in front.

I hope I cleared out the problem.

We're using windows CE 4.1, SDL 1.2 and GAPI.

Thanks
