How to make modeless dialog NOT the topmost?

[Doug Sisco]

I created a modeless dialog box but it remains the topmost window even when I select other windows in my application. How can make it behave like a normal window?

Hello,

Well, obviously this is all a speculation, since it's hard to implement every advice and see it working, but:

Did You try? :
CWnd::SetWindowPos(CWnd::wndNoTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE );

A CDialog as You know inherits CWnd.

good luck
Rem.

Yep, I tried
GridDlg->SetWindowPos(&GridDlg->wndNoTopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE );

and
GridDlg->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_TOPMOST,SWP_NOSIZE);
without success.

The dialog just refuses to go behind the main application window even though the application window has focus!
