Thanks, this does the trick! There's only one minor peeve
remaining: The 
message box is displayed in front of the old document, not
in front of the 
new document.

PS: Please put your answers below the quoted text you refer
to.  This makes 
reading discussion threads much easier.

Oops, if I had seen the answer before I could have saved my
mail. 
Anyway, I already explained why the message box is displayed
in front of
the old document.

If the tip from Martin really works your message box should
appear in
front of the new document if you created it *after* putting
the new
window to front.

Best regards,
Mathias

What tip?  He explained how things are coded.

No, unless my memory fails badly on me, it doesn't: Even if
I put the new 
window in front before creating the message box, the message
will appear in 
front of the old window.  But if I add a "Wait 1"
before displaying the 
MsgBox, the message box appears in front of the new window!

The solution in a nutshell (the second "toFront"
is a fallback solution for 
the case that the "Wait 1" trick fails):

  Document = Service.loadComponentFromURL(file,
"_blank", 0, noArgs())
 
Document.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindo
w().toFront()
  Wait 1
  Msgbox "foo"
 
Document.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindo
w().toFront()

BTW, as window manager KDE 3.something is employed.

His tip was: "I didn't try it, but perhaps this might
help:
Document.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindo
w().toFront()"

This is as I said: the WM works asynchronously so it takes
some time
that the window *really* comes to front. The message box is
a clear
indicator: it always takes the OOo window that has the focus
as its
parent. So if it takes the "old" window this one
obviously still has the
focus because the WM until then didn't move the focus to the
new window.

Ciao,
Mathias
