Getting a child window active

[lhilliard]

No MFC! I am using WIN 32 API.

My problem is my child window will not highlight or look active (blue title bar) when I bring it up.

I want it to be a child window inside my main. My code is as follows:

hScopeWnd = CreateWindow(szScopeClass,"Scope",WS_CAPTION | WS_CHILD | WS_SYSMENU | WS_VISIBLE | WS_MINIMIZEBOX,0,0,227,247,hWnd,NULL,hInst, NULL);

If I take out WS_CHILD, the title bar will highlight but I lose the CHILD feature that I want. Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?

Have you tried SetForegroundWindow?

SetForegroundWindow did not help.

Try BringWindowToTop(HWND) or CWnd::BeringWindowToTop.
The foreground window can be not on top. You can also use SetWindowPos. John Fill
