Thank you Dominik!! It work, but it only work when I
click on frame or side border or title. How can I make
it work on the application window? It seem to be that
application window can be set to focus by only one
single click and without modifier key.

I try make use of "mouse" command in the .fvwm2rc file
such as:

        mouse 0 W A Focus

This command will bring the focus to the window, but
I cannot do any action with any mouse click to the
window any more. So, this command doese not help.
Do you know any work-around for it?

Actually, I am writting an application with multiple
windows. I like to change my focus on those window
when
I press any key combination with mouse click on it.
Then, I carry on any action from one window to other
without extra user input. Do you know which apart of
the source I should modified to make this work too.

Once again, thank you very much for your help!!
