Share via 2021-08-07T15:35:27.337+00:00 I have written two applications A and B (both Win32 apps) running on Windows 8.1. Application A has message box pop up at many places with the Topmost flag. In application B, i want to prevent application A dialog boxes to come in front of it while running. I figured out that there is LockSetForegroundWindow API which can disable other processes to set their windows in the foreground. But it does not seems to work in my case. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. Is there a way to achieve this?

In my test they appeared over notepad in the z-order but notepad retained the keyboard focus and the message boxes were not the active windows. Don't confuse TOPMOST in the z-order with the foreground. And for an application that used MB_TOPMOST | MB_SETFOREGROUND for the messagebox function the result was that the message box was TOPMOST but not the foreground window. The taskbar button for the application was flashing to indicate to the user that it wanted to become the foreground window. If it is absolutely essential refer to the solution of using UIAccess privileges to create a TOPMOST window that will appear over all other TOPMOST windows (except for those created by other UIAccess enabled processes) as discussed here - display-a-customized-osd-on-screen-display-like-wi.html. 0 additional answers Sign in to answer Your answer Answers can be marked as Accepted Answers by the question author, which helps users to know the answer solved the author's problem.

Change styles very easily by GetWindowLong() and SetWindowLong() and also window caption by using SetWindowText() and SendDlgItemMessage(). By looking inside UpdateFlags() in the program, you will find the code which performs this to modify the target window:if(TopMost) { dwExtendedStyle|=WS_EX_TOPMOST; SetWindowPos(hHandle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOMOVE);}else{ dwExtendedStyle&=~WS_EX_TOPMOST; SetWindowPos(hHandle, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOMOVE);}if(BACKdwID!=dwID) SetWindowLong(hHandle, GWL_ID, dwID);if(BACKdwStyle!=dwStyle)SetWindowLong(hHandle, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle);if(BACKdwExtendedStyle=dwExtendedStyle)SetWindowLong(hHandle, GWL_EXSTYLE, dwExtendedStyle);if(Visible){ ShowWindow(hHandle,SW_HIDE); ShowWindow(hHandle,SW_SHOW);}else{ ShowWindow(hHandle,SW_SHOW); ShowWindow(hHandle,SW_HIDE);}UpdateWindow(GetParent(hHandle));The code to change caption depends on the type of window control. To change caption of Edit Control and Box Control, it has to use SendDlgItemMessage() instead of SetWindowText() in other window controls:if((strstr(_szClassName,"EDIT")==NULL)&&(strstr(_szClassName,"BOX")==NULL)){ SetWindowText(hHandle,szTitle);}else{ HWND hWndParent=GetParent(hHandle); SendDlgItemMessage(hWndParent,dwID,WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)szTitle);}ConclusionI hope this tool clarifies window classes and their manipulation for people who are beginners in this field. This would be an introduction to make window Spy tools and work with handles.Eventually, I should appreciate you if you would kindly take the time to mention your ideas, suggestions, and any bugs you may find in this program.
