Hi all,



I have an interesting situation here.

We have a popup window that appears on a window if the Employee in that window has any attached notes in a separate table. This window is 'always on top' during that window and appears to be fine.

(It is called with the window as parent).



However, we also have a method of stringing windows together via a 'Linked sequence' method that uses a controlling window with previous, next and stop buttons to control the windows. Within these sequences, if the 'Notes' popup is up, you have to click on the buttons 3 times to actually get it to action.



The current SDK style is 82000009 and the PS Style is 8100.



Has anyone got any ideas on a change to either of these styles that could help my cause ??



Hopefully,



Simon

<QUOTE>Simon,

Are you saying that it takes you three clicks to get a CLICK event recognised on one of the control buttons?  Do you see anything happening in the system monitor for these 3 clicks?



[i]The current SDK style is 82000009 and the PS Style is 8100.[/i]



So you've got the WS_EX_TOPMOST bit set in the style yes?  How did you get that PS style?  No 3D controls?



Can't remember ever having any problems when using 'always on top' windows before ...

<QUOTE>Sprezz,



Yes - I was having to click 3 times to get the click event recognised. The system monitor didn't really help.



I've gone back to having the window sat on the main window as always on top with the SDK style as 82800009 and the same PS Style. I don't know how that PS Style originated, that was done previously.



It appears to be behaving itself now anyway,



Cheers,



Simon

<QUOTE>Simon,



Are you passing @Window as the parent or the actual window name?

<QUOTE>Tim,



I was using @Window to get the window name together with a caveat in case it wasn't set properly. In the end that was causing me the most grief. I got round it by using the main system window as the parent and setting always on top. Thanks anyway,



Simon
