Undesirable behaviour when using bAlwaysOnTop

[GKFC]

Hi,

At the start of my application I make a call to

Application.Behaviour.bAlwaysOnTop = true;

which is fine. It means that if I run it AFTER opening Internet Explorer, or some other windows it will remain above it during execution.

However, I also make a call to

Application.Behaviour.bAlwaysOnTop = false;

mid-way through the application's execution.

Now, I'd expect that my application would still remain on top BUT if another window opens it would be masked by it. Unfortunately I am noticing that it is automatically sent to the back of any other open windows.

Is it possible to not have my application sent to the back when calling bAlwaysOnTop?

Cheers,

If set "bAlwaysOnTop" to true, the newly created window will be sent to the back of the main window for the main window is always on top of any other windows.

If it's set to false, the newly created window will be above the main window.

Hi,

Yes, that is what I expected to happen, however on Windows 2000 (what I use mostly) my application disappears behind all the other windows.

I'm noticing now that even if I don't use bAlwaysOnTop in my (main) application, then from my (main) application call another (child) application, my (main) application is pushed to the back of the screen.... behind any other open window.... I then need to click on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen to retrieve my (main) application.

???
