modeless dialog question

I added a modeless dialog in my project. But I found the dialog window covered top of the main frame window, so that I cannot use alt+tab to switch to show the main window. I tried to add codes in CMyDialog::PreCreateWindow like below:

cs.dwExStyle &= ~WS_EX_TOPMOST;

But it didn't work. could anyone know how to fix that? thanks!

What is the behavior you want ? Do you want the mainframe AND the modeless dialog window to be available as 2 different options in the Alt-tab window ?

not easy

icon in taskbar?

yes, i want them to be 2 options in the alt-tab window. is the only way to do this to use a multi-thread?

I'm sure this is not perfect solution, since better solution must exist.

Make the destop window (GetDesktopWindow) parent of dialog box. Try it out.

That should do it, pass the desktop window as second param to Create method of your modeless dialog object.
