Hello guys,

I am facing an issue in VC++, can anybody help?

I have two windows A and B.I open window A and do not close it ( clicking a icon lets say icon1 in toolbar).
Later, I open window B (clicking a icon lets say icon2 in toolbar), I see window A is getting hidden behind window B. well till now!!!

Now if again I click on icon1, still window A is behind window B? how can I fix this??

I need to have window A on top of window B.

Regards,
Joy

Set the window's top most flag.

Without knowing something more about your code it is difficult to give a useful answer. Is WindowB a dialog or a normal window?

What's about CWnd::SetWindowPos?
You could set wndTopMost if you would like to keep it on top.
But then window A is on top of every window.
Please let me/us know a bit more about your requirements, maybe we could help you a bit more.

Thank you..it worked when i set wndTopMost in CWnd::SetWindowPos(). I could also find another way of doing it thats using BringWindowToTop() method.
