Hi,
Are there any MS Windows users that use the function
`select-frame-by-name'?
Are you successful in bringing the Emacs frame to the
forefront when using this function and emacsclient.exe?
When Emacs is iconified and you executed the follwing from
the command prompt (using your Emacs directory and frame name):
C:\emacs-24.3.50\bin\emacsclient.exe -n --eval
"(select-frame-by-name \"emacs@MYSYSTEM\")"
nil
Emacs will the deiconify the frame and it will, of course, be
in the forefront.
However, executing the same command while Emacs is deiconified and
behind some other Window will NOT bring Emacs to the forefront.
The icon on the bottom of the screen will "blink" but will not
raise the frame to the forefront, at least not for me.
I have a bug report on this:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13094
Does it work for you?
I'm hoping to track this down before the release of Emacs 24.3
Strangely enough, if I use the emacsclient.exe from Lennart's
patched Emacs:
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-11-03 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
against the pretest Gnu Emacs:
In GNU Emacs 24.2.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)
of 2013-01-06 on MS-W8-DANI

schwab@linux-m68k.org-20130106103426-949ru8fm3gg7qx52
or the trunk:
In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)
of 2013-01-15 on ODIEONE
Bzr revision: 111532 dmantipov@yandex.ru-20130115101431-o6w1qeqwqcmyxmi9
it works just fine.
It just doesn't work for me with the Gnu Emacs supplied emacsclient.exe.
Thanks if you are able to test this in your environment and letting me
know your results.
