HWND_TOP to make a dialog topmost???
-
Hi, i need some help to bring a dialog to top, but only for him parent dialog. I use this to set child dialog on the top, but he still on top for all applications:
::SetWindowPos(pWaitDlg->m_hWnd, HWND_TOP,0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
but i need it to be only for him's parent dialog on top, not for all, this is a small dialog with progressbar on it! Thanks for any help!! Arrin

I think you can try giving handle to the parent window instead of HWND_TOP as second parameter.

From the msdn page for SetWindowPos: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633545(VS.85).aspx, HWND_NOTOPMOST Places the window above all non-topmost windows (that is, behind all topmost windows). This flag has no effect if the window is already a non-topmost window. This sounds a lot like what you want. Iain.

Hi, thanks for answer, that is! Only one issue is there :), first here is code:
CProgressDlg dlgProgress; // simple dialog with progressbar
dlgProgress.Create(CProgressDlg::IDD, GetDesktopWindow());
this->EnableWindow(FALSE); // disable parent window to make him unclickable
::SetWindowPos(dlgProgress.m_hWnd, this->m_hWnd,0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);
dlgProgress.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); // show new dialog
dlgProgress.CenterWindow(); // center him
dlgProgress.BringWindowToTop(); // bring it to top, because after create they is in the background of the parent dialog, don't know why!!?There is only one thing that is not ok, i can switch between this two dialogs if i click they icons in the taskbar, in this case is this little "dlgProgress"(simple Dialog with progressbar) Dialog in the background of hims parent(if i click on parent icon), and that is what i need to avoid! This little dlgProgress must be on top of hims parent until the process is finish! :( Thanks for help! Arrin

Still need help!
Then I need a question to help with! Did my answer not solve your problem? Did you realise you asked the wrong question? Was my answer complete rubbish? Iain.

May be you can remove the call to GetDesktopWindow(). I think
dlgProgress.Create(CProgressDlg::IDD)would be enough. In addition to that, I suppose dlgProgress has to be a member of the parent dialog.
