Hi, I am doing something similar now, since I am maintaining a list of all the windows, I can go thru them and findout which one is on top currently and use the setabovemethod. Using this sometimes windows blackout, and the control is in a different window, and I will need to start fresh.
Also the menu and menubar in the application are appearing below the windows, everytime the window is moved up by me in code (use setdepthabove) I can set the menu and menubar above this (unneceaary should have been the default behaviour) but I cannot control the menu depth when user clicks on the tile of the window.
