Hi I'm developing a kiosk application which is composed of seveal co-operating apps and which runs along with the powerpoint viewer. At various times forms created by the apps (and the powerpoint viewer) need to be visible, and a futher set of forms need to be always visible no matter what. I've achieved the latter by using the SetWindowsPos() API to put the forms always on top via HWND_TOPMOST. Looking at the docs for SetWindowsPos, there are two Z orders, one for topmost windows, and one for all other windpws. It would be VERY convenient to be able to set a form as a topmost form, but at the bottom of the Z order for topmost forms. Any thoughts?
