OnKillFocus, not working with topmost window

Hi,

I have a Dlg, and i used SetWindowpos(.. .) to ensure that it is the top most
window.
But, i also want to ensure that i never looses the focus for that window.

If i click on another window and want the focus to return to my window until
the user has finished with it.

How could that be done?

Many Thanks

Are you talking about a system-wide modal dialog? If so, you can set
your dialog to have that property. I've never done it, so I can't tell
you how, but now you know what you're looking for...

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

I don't think i want such drastic actions.
What i was after was to be the top most window, (and have the focus), for a
selected window.

For example, lets say that i start the calculator, i want my application to
display a dialog box and force the user to acknowledge it b4 he can do
anything.
I can get the window of the calculator but i cannot force the focus to
remain on my dialog box.

Hello, I have a VB6 app that calls a VB.NET app via named pipes and a third party component. Inside the VB.NET app I'm trying to force a form to the top, at least temporarily.
