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?
