No it does not, delphi's 2007 menu designer never stays on top
outside the application it self and never looses its position
regardless of how many times you change between delphi and other
applications.
I was talking about FormStyle=fsStayOnTop and not about delphi's 2007
menu designer. fsStayOnTop in Delphi behaves the same as in Lazarus -
it tries to keep the form above all forms system-wide.
Its a windows thing yes, it only has 2 groups of windows, normal and on
top, each group can handle its own z-order. As you say you should never
use it especialy when there is a working alternative that does the job
far better.
No, you are wrong. pmAuto selects the active form as PopupParent not
application's main form. See
TPopupMode = (
pmNone, // default behavior - popup to mainform/taskbar window
pmAuto, *// popup to active form and same as pmNone if no active form*
pmExplicit // popup to PopupParent and same as pmNone if not exists
);
or the widgetset code, e.g. for Qt:
procedure TQtMainWindow.UpdateParent;
var
NewParent: QWidgetH;
begin
NewParent := nil;
case FPopupMode of
pmNone: ;// no popup parent
pmAuto:
// active form is parent
if Screen.ActiveForm <> nil then
NewParent := TQtWidget(Screen.ActiveForm.Handle).Widget;
//...
Again, you are wrong. pmAuto doesn't have anything to do with the main
form.

True sorry it seems my knowledge is outdated on this subject but I
believe on being specific when it comes to programming, make sure that
the popuform is set to the correct window my self and all that.
