Child control steals focus! How to stop?

[nexius]

Hi

I've succeeded in making a dialog box with a child control window that shows a 3D scene using OpenGL, and this works fine... but every time I try to bring up a message box (that is modal), or a another dialog box, nothing happens, and I can't even click on the main dialog box.

I'm not quite sure what to do... I thought there might be a message in WindowProc that I could intercept and return before the window steals the focus, but even if I return all the messages I still can't see message boxes.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

I've had that happen to me before when I was using D3D I think. Are you using MFC or not? If not, you might not have the visible box checked for the dialog's settings, which could cause the problem.

Yea I'm using MFC.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the dialog box's settings. If I destroy the opengl window then everything works fine. That's how I knew it was opengl that was stealing the focus.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks anyway
