You know how, in Write, the Find dialog floats on top of the document but
allows the parent to maintain the focus?  In other words you can type
text into a document underneath the Find dialog.

That's easy to do.  Normal WS_POPUP style will accomplish that much.
But suppose I want to get the same effect globally , and have a window
which floats over all other applications?  How can that be done?  It's
easy to keep it on the top, but all three of the obvious API's for 
putting a window at the top of the Z order also activate it and give
it the focus.

Has anyone actually done this?  If so, how?

(I do have a legitimate reason for doing something so nonstandard).

Thanks,

Fred
