Re: [Pythoncard-users] childWindow.Raise() works on Windows, not on Mac

[<bra...@om...>]

I have a question about this approach. It does work, but I don't 
understand it as well 
as I'd like and I worry that it depends too much on timing. When does the 
child 
window's on_initialize run? What if on a really fast computer it runs 
before the 
childWindow.id_emp is bound?
