Windows always on top..

[ronnyjljr]

I strike again!

I had posted a little while ago about one of my sub dialogs popping up and being always on top. I am still having the same problem. I have a main dialog that shows. Then I call another dialog through:

[blue]
CMyDialog *Test;
Test = new CMyDialog(this);
Test->CREATE(IDD_MYDIALOG,this);
Test->ShowWindow(1);
[/blue]

The window shows up and is always on top even when it loses focus (stays on top but the title bar is dimmed). I have tried playing with the three states of the windows (POPUP,CHILD,OVERLAPPED) and none of them solve this problem.

What could it be?

Thanks,
Ron

Well if you don't want the window to always be on top, then just make it a normal window instead of a dialog.

The program is completely dialog based. So a "Normal" window will not work.

you can try with:

SetActiveWindow(this->m_hWnd);
SetForegroundWindow(this->m_hWnd);

after your code.

Do not forget to call DestroyWindow to close the modeless window.
