I’m involved in a project that is attempting to use the Eclipse RCP splash screen to gather user credentials, language, etc. If this screen loses focus, it is not available (under Windows at least) through the ALt-Tab functionality, and can only be found by minimizing all other windows and uncovering it. Any way of having this screen allow itself to be activated in this way? They’re avoiding creating an intermediate screen, for reasons unknown at this point.
I think it might be time to examine those unknown reasons. Even eclipse doesn’t use the splash screen in this way. If it needs to prompt for information, it opens a new dialog to ask for it.
Good luck.
[Edit] I stand corrected. This thread seems to have a solution to this. Good luck, I’m no SWT/RCP guru.
