How to take over the desktop
-
My application is designed to run with at least two monitors. The main application is full screen on the primary display and creates full screen popup windows (without captions/borders) on all secondary displays. I would like to make it so any popup windows on the secondary displays are always on top of my full screen window. That is, any other popup window (from my app or another) is always on top of it. Windows supports "topmost" windows, but it doesn't have a "bottom most" concept. I have tried to subclass the desktop window, but it doesn't work. Right now I am making all of the popup windows my application creates topmost to workaround this, but that doesn't solve the problem with popup windows from other applications. Chris Hafey

No, it is software for viewing medical images. The application actually uses all the monitors to display the images! The problem is when the user wants to run other applications at the same time such as Internet Explorer or Word. Chris Hafey
