Here's some code I used successfully in an onclick of the mainform
to switch back and forth from fsStayOnTop:
{ Private declarations }
Procedure WMWindowPosChanging(Var Msg: TWMWindowPosMsg); MESSAGE
WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING;
Procedure TMainF1.WMWindowPosChanging(Var Msg: TWMWindowPosMsg);
Begin
Inherited;
If StayOnTop = True Then
Begin
With Msg Do
Begin
If (WindowPos.flags And SWP_NOZORDER) = 0 Then
Begin
Result := 0;
Windows.SetWindowPos(Handle,
HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOSENDCHANGING Or SWP_NOMOVE Or
SWP_NOSIZE Or SWP_NOACTIVATE);
End;
End;
End;
End;
The buttonclick sets the Boolean and changes the button glyph and
menu items. I just can't remember why I didn't put this in my action list?
<g> But it's still working under XP/sp2...only problem seems to be on the
first click which doesn't seem to work, just flash and make the visual
changes, but each successive click does work, so I had to kill the visual
changes on the first click as well. It was only for my illiterate
brother-in-law and he always clicks twice anyway! <g>

Subject: Re: Problem refreshing Memo of a Form
hi,
Thanks to you to look at my problem !
Oups sorry...:-) it is just because you need a main form (let's call it
FormMain) calling the Form1 with a Show instruction (not Showodal) from a
Button (let's call it ButtonMain) on the Main Form. But take a look at the
source here if you want :
http://www.crawleyscastingcalls.com/temp/test/
and yes, you're right it is TForm1 (not TForm2).
So i my example, because of the Stay on Top Form1 above the FormMain form,
the Form1.Deactivate event is fired each time you click on the Button1, or
when you click on the FormMain form which is below Form1.
I work under XP (sp2) with D7.

I created a small project that has these
components and it worked fine in D7 under XP;
which version are you using? I note that your
OnClick below refereces Tform1, but your
OnDeactivate references Tform2. Perhaps the code
below doesn't reflect all the code in your project?
Also, since the form is change to StayOnTop, the
OnDeactivate event never gets fired...
