Using CALL_EXTERNAL to manage Windows [message #42162] Tue, 11 January 2005 19:43

Hi,

I've been writing an IDL application for use on the Windows platform
Unfortunately, another application takes delight in hogging the entire
screen. I cannot seem to get the IDL GUI to be 'always on top'. The IDL
GUI is obscured behind this other application making my IDL program very
difficult to use.

I'm starting to play with windows internals to fix the problem. More
specifically, I can using CALL_EXTERNAL on user32.dll. However, it is a
very step learning curve for me (I am more a UNIX kind of person). Has
anyone ever had sucess with this kind of thing before?
