I'm not sure if this can be fixed by PWB but I'll throw it out in case someone has a solution.
Our OPACs connect to a Terminal Server using MS's Remote Desktop Connection app. The OPACs run the RDC as shell and connect to the server in full screen mode. We've configured it with an automatic login and the user accounts automatically launch PWB on login. So far, so good.
If you're familiar with the Remote Desktop Connection app., when it is in fullscreen mode, there's a small toolbar across the top of the screen that allows you to log off, minimize, etc. the remote session. There's a setting in the RDC app. that allows you to hide this toolbar in your session.
The problem is that the RDC app. doesn't appear to do this automatically. Instead, it waits for some activity, like a mouse click, in the remote session, before hiding the toolbar. Once that happens, the toolbar disappears. But I would like to see that happen immediately.
So, I'm wondering if there's someway for PWB to set focus in the remote session. I'm pretty sure it should be getting focus anyways but apparently not in a way that the RDC app. recognizes as activity in the remote session. Or, if anyone has suggestions on other workarounds to address that, I'm open to them. It's not a major problem but it would sure help to eliminate one potential problem point.
Thanks!
Focus issue?

amuth,
I have to admit, I'm not even close to being familiar with your setup, but if you just want to change the focus, you could have PWB run a seperate little mini app to do that for you.
The app could be launched as part of the startup script, or if that is too soon and you have control of the home page you are using, you could add a little javascript to use PWB's execute function to launch the app. Failing that even, you could use a blank html page as your home page which runs the app and then redirect to your real homepage, all inside the first second or two.
One of the things I love about PWB is just how flexible it is in operating with other software.
