The idea of this plugin is simple and was born out an agony I went through while using x64dbg with IDA simultaneously.

It solves the problem of stealing the window focus from x64dbg to IDA, each time you single-step in the debugger, the  sync

plugin in x64dbg will send the sync info to IDA to show the current location and this makes IDA get the focus, very annoying when

you are doing a quick single stepping !

This plugin simply restores the focus to the debugger, that's all.

Doesn't unchecking this option work?

Nop, I tried everything.

Alright, here is some more stable code for forcing another foreground window (this one supposedly sometimes holds CTRL):

//https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/76427/How-to-bring-window-to-top-with-SetForegroundWindo
static void SetForegroundWindowInternal(HWND hWnd)
{
    if(!hWnd || !IsWindow(hWnd))
        return;

    //to unlock SetForegroundWindow we need to imitate pressing [Alt] key
    bool bPressed = false;
    if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_MENU) & 0x8000) == 0)
    {
        bPressed = true;
        keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0, 0);
    }

    SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);

    if(bPressed)
        keybd_event(VK_MENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}

 

very close to what I used in this silly plugin, imitating a CTRL click.
