Suggestion : prevent VE from making itself the active window after a sim

Post by MatthewSteen »

When running a sim and minimizing VE to work in another app - e.g. Excel, Word, etc. - VE will make itself the active window after the sim is complete. I don't know of any other app that has this behavior and find it strange and annoying that the VE would interrupt the user while doing other work.

This happens in the following scenarios:

1. Running multiple Room Load Calculations in the PRM navigator, e.g. Proposed Model and 0* Baseline Model.
2. Running multiple System Load Calculations in the PRM navigator, e.g. Proposed Model and 0* Baseline Model.
3. When the PRM Simulation is complete
