How to let CFrameWnd always and only on top of parent window?

[jchliu]

I have a parent window derived from CFrameWnd. When I switch among the tree items in the parent window, I will get a child window which is also derived from CFrameWnd. Current the child window is on top of every window, but this is not I want. It needs to be always but only on top of its parents and its content will be updated when I switch among the tree items in the parent window (thus can't be modal). The following is what I have for now:

m_pChildFrame->Create(NULL, _T("Test"), WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CRect(0, 0, 200, 150), NULL, NULL, WS_EX_TOPMOST);

I can't use CDialog to do similar thing. Thanks for your advice.

Remove the WS_EX_TOPMOST flag, and set the first param to its parent hWnd.
