patgenn123 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I was wondering if someone could explain what "set window order on top" is? The reason why I ask is because I would like to launch a program within a program with a button opening it, but I would like to open the program, say excel for example, in a specific place(using Window Reposition). I would like to make it seem like the "excel program is embedded" in a specific place so it looks like I am viewing a screen within a screen with a fixed border. Bottom line: If the main program behind Excel "closes" or "is minimized" or is "maximized", Excel does NOT do the same thing. Also, if SOME OTHER program is opened, I want "excel" to be placed behind the newly opened window. Is there anyway of doing this? Thanks!

kevin Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I was wondering if someone could explain what "set window order on top" is? Windows allows one window/dialog to have an 'on top' setting. When a window is set to 'on top' other windows are displayed underneath it, even if the other window has focus. Task Manager works this way. You can set a window to 'on top' but that doesn't stop Windows or some other program from making a different window 'on top'. If that occurs then the window you set to be 'on top' is no longer 'on top'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
