Hi,
I would like to create a series of Child Windows that move freely like MDI documents, without using the MDI mechanism. Each of my child windows is created with the following styles:
WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW | WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
-- and --
WS_CHILD | WS_CAPTION | WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_SYSMENU | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_TABSTOP,
which gives me the functionality I require except that the child windows are never activated. This results in not being able to interact with any controls appearing in the child windows albeit i can still drag, move and re-size the child windows themselves.
Does any body have a suitable solution for this problem.
Many thanks,
Liam.
