1) A frame is created through a call to x-create-frame.
2) This calls x_make_frame_visible
3) There is a call to my_show_window with a parameter that is
SW_SHOWNORMAL which I guess is later given to the w32 API ShowWindow or
something similar.
The documentation for SW_SHOWNORMAL says
Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or
maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position.
An application should specify this flag when displaying the window
for the first time.
I am not sure about what "activates" mean here but I believe it
was that it will get the keyboard input focus. And I wonder if
the documentation is correct when it sounds that you have to use
SW_SHOWNORMAL.
My understanding is that it is the MS Windows window-manager that
automatically selects/focusses the new frame, and that that cannot be
prevented from within Emacs. If there is a way to inhibit this behavior,
that would be even better than getting the focus back after it has been
given to the new frame.
But I don't understand what you are suggesting I do - at all.
A workaround is maybe to use `after-make-frame-functions'?
I already mentioned that I tried that. What do you suggest I put in that
hook, concretely? I tried reselecting the original buffer/window/frame and
the minibuffer, none of which seemed to work.
