Not you too!:-)

Neil, this is from the Win32 SDK.

"The SetSysModalWindow function is obsolete. This function is provided only for compatibility with 16-bit versions of Windows. The new input model does not allow for System Modal windows."

Some suggestions, however. Ed Rauh, I believe, has a file here that uses CreateThread() to start applications. CreateThread() does allow you to set a priority level for the new thread.

The other idea is to use the AlwaysOnTop property. I don't know, however, if the results would be quite what you want or if they would be any different from using the SetWindowPos() function to do the same thing.
