Top Most Window

[TheHellTower]

Hello,

I can't find out how to make my window top most, does anyone know how to make the window top most if a checkbox is selected ?

Because the code see if it's selected or no but I can't find any element to make it top most.

Regards.

I think Window::Activate() will select the window and bring it to the top.

Well the problem is I don't want to bring it to the top with a loop but I want to make it top most until I uncheck the checkbox

Ah, okay. You can use GetHandle() and start using the Win32 API. This won't be cross-platform, but it will work on Windows:

SetWindowPos(window->GetHandle(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

Final:

if (THTtmcb->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_SELECTED) {
	SetWindowPos(window->GetHandle(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);
} else if(THTtmcb->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_UNSELECTED) {
	SetWindowPos(window->GetHandle(), HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);
}

Hopefully there can be a window function that does this cross platform. This is useful to ensure a window is shown on top after a splash window.

That would be nice yeah but then it would be better if you can pass a boolean to set it top most or no, but I personally prefer when splash are top most I don't think it's really important for software form itself.
