I have a BP view that needs to follow various windows.

I cannot find any way of getting maximizer to notify me when the active window changes. It does tell me when the selected row changes.

This is fine when I move between rows but when I click from Address Book to Opportunities I need the BP window refresh.

The only way I've found is to launch a background thread that checks the current active window and then sleeps and then loops. I'm not especially happy with this because it can eat cpu cycles and gets nasty on a 10 user terminal server.

I've now resolved this by subclassing the MDIClient window and all windows it creates.

This allows me to catch the activate messages and handle them.
