Hi,
In my program I'm using a SDL-window (from open source SDL). I'm using its 
handle to bring it over a TForm window:
   SetWindowPos( Handle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0,0,0,0, SWP_NOMOVE| SWP_NOSIZE);

I've tried HWND_TOP and HWND_NOTOPMOST (also SetForegroundWindow()) and it 
didn't work. So, I use HWND_TOPMOST. Since I want the TForm window to come 
up as soon as the user click on it (i.e. SDL window should not stay on 
top). Then I added following line:
   SetWindowPos( Handle, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0,0,0,0, SWP_NOMOVE| SWP_NOSIZE);

Everything was working fine. But I just found out that the 2nd 
SetWindowPos( HWND_NOTOPMOST) has no effect on XP and the SDL-window stays 
on top  :-(

Any other way to bring a window with its handle to top?

thanks
Phuoc Can HUA
