Question

The application is of MFC. Sometimes I need to activate the window and display it at the topmost of the screen when it’s deactivated, or hidden, or minimized. Here’s what I did:

AfxGetMainWnd()->BringWindowToTop();
AfxGetMainWnd()->SetActiveWindow();
AfxGetMainWnd()->SetForegroundWindow();

if(AfxGetMainWnd()->IsIconic())
AfxGetMainWnd()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
else
     AfxGetMainWnd()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
AfxGetMainWnd()->UpdateWindow();

But I found sometimes the window was not activated and was still convered by window of other appliactions. Is there anything wrong with my approach? How should I fix this?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

try
SetWindowPos(hwnd,HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

it should work on all windows, since all windows have the same handle type.
