Sorry for jumping in so late. To make your dialog have an entry in the taskbar, you should add the WS_EX_APPWINDOW extended style. This can be done using the VC7/7.1 Resource Editor, but I don't remember if the VC6 editor has this option or not (but anyway you can edit the source manually).
To make your dialog not get minimized when the main app's window gets minimized, you should set its parent to desktop, but then it wouldn't act as a modal dialog! The best thing I can think of is switching the dialog's parent to desktop when the main window gets minimized, and switch it back to the main app window when the window is restored, but I have not tested this method myself. Let me know if this works for you. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] "In Heaven an angel is nobody in particular."
