This looks like the solution. It seems strange using WinSetWindowPos
to do something other than set coordinates, but it does the job.
One catch: the focus does not automatically move to the new topmost
window after the call to WinSetWindowPos. My code looks like this:
{
HWND *ParentWindow, *Window, *ChildClientWindow;
// Get client's frame handle.
Window = WinQueryWindow (hWnd, QW_PARENT, FALSE);
// Move topmost window to the bottom.
WinSetWindowPos (Window,
HWND_BOTTOM, // Put tuple at the bottom.
0, 0, // Ignored.
0, 0, // Ignored.
SWP_ZORDER); // Look at hwndInsertBehind.
// And later...
WinSetFocus (HWND_DESKTOP, ChildClientWindow);
}
