SetForegroundwindow works on a window which is already showing. I suspect that your problem is a timing issue more than anything else. I'd suggest you make the same call after trapping the Wm_Show message of the dialog. Otherwise, launch the form and make the call a second or so afterwards. (perhaps using a timer)<br />

Good luck!! &nbsp;

Thanks, DrDelphi and Rheinqold<br />
I do as you told me, but it still doesn't work. I wonder where should I call the SetWindowPos. Is it true to call it in OnInitDialog?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a thread to monitor a special event. if the event happens, the thread will send a message to my main program.<br />
Then the program will creat a modal dialog. I hope this dialog displays at the top of all windows. I learned SetForegroundWindows can do it. I put this function in the dialog class( in OnInitdialog),but it can't work. What's wrong?

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
