It is not supposed to be.

You do not need the window to be recreated to begin with.  Why are you
trying to force that?

Look closely at that code.  Notice anything particularly wrong?  You are
setting the window to be top-most regardless of your chkForeground checkbox.
You are NOT removing the top-most attribute when the checkbox is becomes
unchecked.  You need to use HWND_NOTOPMOST to remove the attribute.  Try
this code instead:

    void __fastcall TfrmOptions::chkForegroundClick(TObject *Sender)
    {
        bool bForeground = chkForeground->Checked;

        imgAlways_OnTop1->Visible = bForeground;
        imgAlways_OnTop2->Visible = !bForeground;

        SetWindowPos(Handle, (bForeground) ? HWND_TOPMOST : HWND_NOTOPOST,
0, 0, 0,  0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);
    }
