Why is the window always topmost?

Fredrik Skog

I have a modeless dialog that is created and popped by an SDI application. The problem is that the dialog is always topmost. I would like the SDI app to be topmost when I click in its window, placing the popup behind it. Should a modeless dialog behave like this? Cheers,

Try setting CWnd::GetDesktopWindow() as the parent of your modeless dialog, instead of your main window. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

What do you want? That the mainframe will be topmost, or the dialog? Best Regards...

I want the window I click in to be topmost. Using CWnd::GetDesktopWindow(), as Joaquín wrote in his post, works fine. Passing the this pointer to CDialog::Create() makes the dialog be always topmost. Cheers,
