RE: Can you force a modal dialog to be topmost?

That's rather user-hostile.  Your application window is disabled while the dialog is running, so the user can't proceed while your modal dialog is visible.

What exactly do you need to do here?

I found one easy way to achieve what I want. Simply check the system modal and set foreground checkboxes in the dialog resource.

I don't see any problems with this approach so fixed.

Subject: [wtl] Can you force a modal dialog to be topmost?

Hello

I am creating a modal dialog. eg:
CLoginDlg dlg;

if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)

...

In the OnInitDialog in CLoginDlg I am doing this:

SetWindowPos(HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE + SWP_NOSIZE);

Which does return TRUE. But it is not topmost.

Can I somehow make this dialog window topmost? If so, how?

Angus
