Hi All,

I have this dialog I called "monitoring" which has xBrowse defined from Resource.

I'd like to stick it on WndClient of an MDI windows and at the same time open MDIChilds..
i'd like the dialog in WndClient functioning like a background, so when click the MDIChilds will not go behind.

The oMDI:oWndClient will remain active but not interfere with MDIChild behavior and also will not go as Top-Most dialog.

any Idea?

it is possible but style .nor. 4

1.create mdi window
2 create dialog style nor 4
3. ownd:ownclient
4 activate dialog no wait

Thanks Mr. Sivio,

I already tried that but it is not what I am looking for.

Frances,

Please review FWH\samples\test2003.prg

If it does not run fine, please comment these lines:

// SetParent( oOutLook2003:hWnd, oWnd:hWnd )

...

// SetParent( oSplit:hWnd, oWnd:hWnd )

Mr. Antonio,

Thanks for the reply. I actually made a very successful application based on Test2003 concept:


But I have this new approach (if it works), using MDI:oWndClient behind ChildWindow but still functioning as a monitoring panel-like container for xBrowse (or any other control).

Simply replace the explorerbar with the non modal dialog you want to use

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.

Frances,

You have to select if you want it at the left, top, right or bottom of the oWndClient

the rest of the oWndClient area will be used by the MdiChilds

or you may place the dialog in a MdiChild

Please provide a drawing of what you want
