Hi.

I add a modalless form to my app with WS_EX_APPWINDOW ExStyle
and with the desktop window as parent.

Now, I have 2 buttons on the task bar window.
One for the MainForm and one for the new form (lets call it MyForm).

So, where is the problem ?

The problem is that when I display a modal form like ShowMessage or InputBox
or
a common dialog for open, save and colors from the MyForm the MainForm pop
up to the front and the modal form appear on it, and when it closed the
MyForm return to the front.
I replaced the ShowMessage with API MessageBox and it solved this one.
But I still have problems with the others.

How do I prevent it from happend ?
