Dialog Always On Top

[tjkrz]

Here's the situation: I have a program that runs in the system tray, and I want to be able to open a Dialog that sits on top and has focus over all programs currently running (kind of like a system message from Windows). Since DoModal does not accomplish this, is there something else I can do? Thanks. Todd

One solution is to override the event handler for ON_KILLFOCUS. Call SetFocus(). Kuphryn

Did you really mean the focus? (where keyboard input is sent) Or are you looking to make the window topmost, activated and prevent activation of other windows until yours is dismissed? (handling WM_ACTIVATEAPP and using AttachThreadInput and SetForegroundWindow to reassume the foreground if the user tries to switch to another window. ick )

Yes, I am looking to make the window topmost, activated and prevent activation of other windows until mine is dismissed. I didn't mean keyboard focus. Sorry.
