Thank you all for your patience and sorry for floating the forum with maybe too basic questions :oops:
Thanks again for your guidance and support.

If I comment out this on line 138 :

Then the xbrowse is floating, but the mouse is working ?

Probably there is also a fault in sequence of the window, ribbon, folderex and wbrowse setup ...

I am also working on a program to manage the emails.
At the moment, everything is "floating".

Also, it looks like this code will only draw a shadow on the left side and the bottom. Win 11 shadows are on all sides which makes it look like it is floating. Here are some examples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/signature-experiences/layering

No és nada que el equipo de FiveTech no pueda resolver.

Muchas gracias. Fuerte abrazo.

... in many years, so I am not a fan either. But, from the sample program, it appears that this isn't MDI as you know it. These dialogs are not free floating windows like you are thinking of MDI.

Hi Mr. Antonio,

What I would like to do is paste a dialog on oWndMdi:oWndClient which does not overlapped with MDICHild... Or, a panel floating behind MdiChilds.

As an example: take 1/10. What result do you expect from this? 0.1 for sure. Well, using floating-point you could get 0.100000000001 or 0.099999999999 or similar results instead. If you hide the decimals you will se 0.1 or 0.0 according to the actual result. If you round the result you will get the ...

Massimo,

you have to understand how floating-point work. Not doing so you'll find a lot of strange behaviour, in any programming language.

Ok, you're right.
But I'm using some constants with 2 fixed decimals, not floating numbers.
Making the calc with a scientific pocket calculator, the result is correct.
I've tried with FORTRAN too, with 2 decimals and floating point variables and the result is correct, without using rounding functions.

It's the usual floating-point behavior. To fix it you have to round tot too:
