Board index » delphi » Child window styles: Simulation of fsStayOnTop?

Hallo,
Env.: Delphi 6 Ent. UP2
In my application I have a MainForm, which is at runtime nearly always in
maximed status. The user can open several child forms (like MDI, but it
isn't a MDI). Now my problem: The FormStyle of the child form is fsNormal
(and it should stay fsNormal), I'd simulate such a behaviour when
FormStyle was set to fsStayOnTop. When I try it with ChildForm.FormStyle =
fsStayOnTop it get some strange behaviour: I open a child window and it's
over the main form, I open a second child window and it is over the main
form, but under the first child window.
How can I simulate such a behaviour with fsStayOnTop? What kind of window
styles have I to use (override CreateParams)?
I want that all opened child windows are over the main form (they are not
hidden by the main form) and the focused child window is over all other
child windows.
Kind regards
Stephan

Hello,
When I override CreateParams and set Params.WndParent := MainForm.Handle I
can create the child forms as well as I want, but when I click on the main
form itself all openend child forms are going to background. I want to see
all opened child forms in the foreground of the main form, also when the
main form has the focus.
Regards
Stephan
