Hello,

I have a CXTPPopupControl derived class and would like it to stay on top of its parent but not the Topmost window. When its displayed and I move another app in front of my app, this window is displayed on top. Is there an easy way to prevent this?

I override the Create and removed the WS_EX_TOPMOST ext. style but this has no effect due to the SetWindowPos call in UpdateState (I think?).

Thanks for your help,
Peter

Hi,

Just tried same and it works. Set breakpoint in your new Create method to be sure it executed.

Hi Oleg,

The Create was being called in my code but for some reason removing WS_EX_TOPMOST ext. style did not work. It was still displayed as topmost.

I ended up overriding the CreateEx instead and I get the result I wanted.

Thanks for your reply,
Peter
