Z-Order of MDI Child Windows

[rcode]

I need to store and restore the positions of the MDI child windows. However, I can't figure out how to get the relative Z-orders of the MDI child windows to each other so that I can restore the positions back again at a later time.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
For correct window positioning (save&restore), it is higly recommended to use GetWindowPlacement / SetWindowPlacement. These functions take care of various problematic issues (like Z order, and desktop- vs. screen-positon for top level windows)

The only problem is the WindowPlacement data cannot be used when the MDI child is created - you need to set the position after the window is created.

I have this working in two of my apps... unfortunately, it's company code, so I can't give you code.
