I've never had this problem and don't know if this will work or not, but in
the spirit of suggesting something... you could try hooking into the
OnSetFocus() message in your main window (of your application) and then set
back the focus to the old window that is passed in as an argument.

Tom, see my reply to Joe.

The top window could be any application, including the same one. I have
been told there is some sort of hidden UI, which is why the focus changes.
I
want to prevent the focus switch.

Not sure exactly what you mean by this? Is the top window in the same
application or a different application. Does the "process" do any UI at
all? When does it interrupt your main window?

Is there a way to prevent a process from stealing window focus? I want
my
process to run completely silent, no UI interuptions at all, so this
includes
when it steals the focus from my top window.
