Kinetis Design Studio - Stop taking focus after compile complete

carlnormansuret — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 21:07:58 GMT

I have a large project that takes about 20 seconds to compile (i7-8700K 3.7Ghz with 2GB/s PCIe SSD), so I go off and do some work while its building the project and KDS decides to take focus when its complete so what ever i was typing is not happening in KDS in the middle of my code...

How do I stop it KDS taking focus after compile complete? even after the debug is programmed? I tried a few things in preferences but cant seem to find the right thing.

It also takes focus when a break point is hit. Its really frustrating having a program think its so important it can just take focus when ever something happens.

Hi Carl,

this is not hte case on my side. You mean editing something inside Eclipse, correct?

I can edit things while it compiles and it does not take fokus.

Could it be that you have a very special post-build action which does this?

Or can you provide more details what you actually mean?

Thanks,

Erich

Hi Erich,

When I am using another program i.e. writing an email, googling, writing documents. Anything outside of KDS and it decides it will take control of windows and take focus from what I was doing.

Hi Carl,

I don't see that on my side (Windows 10). So it might be some setting in our OS (no clue where to configure something like this) or a setting in Eclipse I'm not aware of. Does it happen as well in a new workspace? In that case it is most likely your host OS doing that?
