Title: Always visible window
Post by: Faiseur on May 02, 2005, 10:42:43 AM

Hi all,

I need, for a program, to show an window alarm for the user. The problem is that this window is not necessarily visible if others are open. I tested by simulating the Windows+M key, which makes it possible to minimize the opened windows, then to show my window, but that does not satisfy me for various reason. How can I proceed in the best way ?

Thank you for your help,

Marc

Hi,
Use SetWindowPos with HWND_TOPMOST along with the co-ordinates. Dunno if it works with Windows+M

Thank you thomasantony ! That functions very well.

That can be useful to other people. For my tool is:

LOCAL rect:RECT

...

.If eax==WM_INITDIALOG
...
invoke GetWindowRect, hWin, ADDR rect
invoke SetWindowPos, hWin, HWND_TOPMOST,rect.left, rect.top,0,0, SWP_NOSIZE
