Here is the API call you will use:
SetWindowPos
The SetWindowPos function changes the size, position, and Z order of a child, pop-up, or top-level window. Child, pop-up, and top-level windows are ordered according to their appearance on the screen. The topmost window receives the highest rank and is the first window in the Z order.

BOOL SetWindowPos(
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
HWND hWndInsertAfter, // placement-order handle
int X, // horizontal position
int Y, // vertical position
int cx, // width
int cy, // height
UINT uFlags // window-positioning options
);


Example syntax for your particular purpose:

SetWindowPos(hWnd,HWND_TOP,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE)

Hope this helps.
