Thanks for the info, but I'm not sure about Platform SDK. I started
doing this windows thing directly with python32.
The HookMessage is called in OnInitDialog(), so I presumed is called
every time a new dialog is created (I'm very new to windows
programming):
def OnInitDialog(self):
rc = Dialog.OnInitDialog(self)
oldhanler = self.HookMessage(self.OnSize, win32con.WM_SIZE)
I just noticed yet another strange thing: the dialogs opened from the
'first' explorer window will always stay on top with respect to their
parent explorer window, while other dialogs maybe freely reordered.
Windowx (XP) also does not create taskbar menus (not sure this is what
they are called) for the custom dialogs that are opened from the
'first' explorer window.
