Sorry for all these questions im posting at the moment, but trying to get a grip on using the MSDN Database as its good for adding features to things like BlueGui.

hWndInsertAfter seems to refer to the zPositon of a Window, with the highest Number being the Window which is forced to the front, but how can i gain the required number for a Front object, or the hWndInsertAfter value for an existing window?

IE

I believe you want GetForegroundWindow.

[in] A handle to the window to precede the positioned window in the Z order. This parameter must be a window handle or one of the following values."


I think i Mis-Read it origionally, I thought it was like a Sprite priority Value...
So If hWndInsertAfter = GetForegroundWindow, Then it will place it infront of the Foreground Window?

i'll try that, Thanks again

There are also some predefined values for top/bottom/topmost/not topmost.

True and it's probably the better method to use.

Set the hWndInsertAfter to the value of HWND_TOP, set x/y/cx/cy values to zero, and then set the flags to (SWP_NOMOVE || SWP_NOSIZE) ... although you may need to experiment a bit with the flags, those ones you'll definitely need.
