Hi!

Take a look to help file on following function:
SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TOPMOST)

This will make it "Always On Top", but do not activate.

HTH.

>Below is a couple of fucntions I got from Bnowledge Base that I use to make a Window always-on-top. Can someone tell me if I can do this without making the Window have the focus?

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
