Hi,

I have a global hook DLL installed that on certain events
should set my application to the front. This works well when
my application does not currently show a modal dialog
or message box. When my application shows a modal
dialog the application is brought to the top of the z-order
but the dialog is behind it. Since the dialog is modal the
user can't work with my app anymore and worse he
doesn't know why because he does not know there's a
modal dialog hidden.

Does anyone know how to fix this? My hook DLL uses
SetForegroundWindow to bring my app to the top.

(my app is VCL based)

thanks,
Nick
