Greetings,
Before I go answering. what you want is to build a VB form that will stay
over the app you're connected to with Boston WorkStation. However if a
user pops up a third, or more applications the z-order should be:
Another app
Your Screen
Connected app
So your screen & connected app are like a single application from a z order
standpoint.
Am I correct that the VB form could execute Boston WorkStation methods?
(that will preclude the need for some windows API calls)
I believe I've done the above - but it'll take me more time to track that
example down than the last. let me know if I am on the right track.

Subject: RE: [Talk] findwindow and setparent functions
This works really well to make the user form topmost. I think .NET has a
property to do this making things a lot easier. Is there a way to make this
topmost to the application I am connecting to? I tried to use findwindow
and setparent. Here is what I have in the code:
'user form
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal
lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWndChild As
Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Dim h As Long
'find windows handle of user form
h = FindWindow(vbNullString, Me.Caption)
'set form as a child to parent google
SetParent h, hWndGoogle
End Sub
'main script module
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal
lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Dim hWndGoogle As Long
Sub Main()
Shell_ http://www.google.com/
'find windows handle of google
hWndGoogle = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Google - Windows Internet Explorer")
End Sub

Greetings,
Seen this done before - here's some code I just tried that worked:
'Paste me into the Form in the Declarations
h
------------------------------------------------------------
Just in case someone asks about doing this with a user form in VBA. this
links to an example in the script library - its moderately more difficult to
do in the VBA environment because you don't have me.Hwnd like you do in a VB
form.

Subject: [Talk] findwindow and setparent functions
Does anyone have any experience using the findwindow and setparent functions
in VB6?
I have a modeless user form. I want the form to float on top of a web
application. The functionality I want is similar to the 'solution explorer'
or 'properties' windows in visual studio. The form will always stay on top
of just the parent. Any help is appreciated.
