Hi everybody !
How can I set a window that is already created and visible to be a 'TOPMOST'
window in WIN 3.1 ?
Simply calling
SetWindowLong(HWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE,    //(don't remember exactly the name)
              GetWindowLong(HWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE) | WS_EX_TOPMOST);
does not work. Doing the reverse ( & ! WS_EX_TOPMOST) for a topmost-created
window doesn't work, too.
What do I have to do ? Do I have to destroy the window and create a new one ?
If yes, how can this be done with BC3.1 & OWL ?
Thanks for any hints !
