message boxes and "always on top" forms

What code are you using? I can't get a message box to be concealed by the form.

Module1
-----
Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

Sub KeepOffTop(Form As Form)
    SetWindowPos Form.hWnd, -2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2 Or 1
End Sub

Sub KeepOnTop(Form As Form)
    SetWindowPos Form.hWnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2 Or 1
End Sub
-----

Form1
----
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox "hi"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    KeepOnTop Me
End Sub

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    KeepOffTop Me
    Unload Me
    Set Form1 = Nothing
End Sub
-----

Maybe it is an operating system problem? I am using Windows Millenium.

vbApplicationModal should put it on top in all cases...

True, but there is no reason for the message box being concealed to begin with. Unless it is being called from another form?

Looks like you got it working. I would still like to see why the message box was being concealed, but if it works for you, then I guess that's all that matters :-)

Good luck

I think that the code I was using for Keeping on top where wrong

==================================
----------------
-Module1
-----------------
Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hWND As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Global Const conHwndTopmost = -1
Global Const conHwndNoTopmost = -2
Global Const conSwpNoActivate = &H10
Global Const conSwpShowWindow = &H40
--------------
-Form1
--------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
If mnuStayOnTop.Enabled = True Then
SetWindowPos hWND, conHwndTopmost, 0, 0, 774, 120, conSwpNoActivate Or conSwpShowWindow
Else
mnuStayOnTop.Enabled = False
SetWindowPos hWND, conHwndNoTopmost, 0, 0, 774, 120, conSwpNoActivate Or conSwpShowWindow
End If
End Sub
