Hello,

a friend of mine has the following problem:
He wants to give the user the possibility to klick on a window
and so giving it the focus but the window should not be topped,
that means it should stay overlapped. With this method you could
give a piece of input to a window without changing how the windows
are arranged (The program is originally written for X-Windows, where
this is a standard behaviour). Now here is the question: Is this
at all posible with MS-Windows and if, who can it be achieved,
i.e. what messages must be caught ...?
(BTW he's programming with Borland C++3.0 and Windows 3.1)
Thanks in advance
                                    Helmut
