form stay on top

[cyprus106]

I have 2 forms in my program. One form is a set of options, my main form. and the other is a wizard to find certain options. The wizard is much smaller than the main form, and it's set to appear in the center of the mainform. My problem is that when I lick on the wizard, and it appears, then when I click on the main form, the wizard falls behind it. Is there a function to keep the wizard on top only in the program? I do not want Wizard->FormStyle = fsStayOnTop, because I dont want it to stay on top of everything, just the main form. Anyone knnow how to do that?

Thanx alot, Cyprus

Have you tried making the forms MDI parent and child? James P. Cottingham

i can't do that. It's not an MDI application, for one. If I made it MDI, I'd have to do way more work than necessary. Cyprus

cyprus,

Can you do it with the SetWindowPos API and the HWND_TOPMOST constant ?

SetWindowPos(this->Handle,HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOACTIVATE+SWP_SHOWWINDOW+SWP_NOMOVE+SWP_NOSIZE);

HWND_TOPMOST = -1
HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
SWP_NOSIZE = 1
SWP_NOMOVE = 2
SWP_NOACTIVATE = 16
SWP_SHOWWINDOW = 64
