Re: Fighting (with win32lib?) for a reasonable UI design

Hello George,
In design #1 are you specifying the secondary windows as "children" of th=
e primary. =20
>From my understanding, this could cause the problem of on-toppedness you =
are =20
experiencing. I don't believe any window has to have a parent. I think th=
e window you =20
open with WinMain() will be the "primary" window meaning that closing it =
will close the
app. The others don't have to be children of the primary to be closed whe=
n it is.
But I don't know a lot about win32lib (only used it a little)
Hope this helps,
Lewis Townsend
Design #1 for two major functional areas: Place each in a separate window=
,
with a master window that offers menu options and perhaps other
functionality common to the two areas (subwindows).
To my dismay, I found that in doing this, the secondary (child) windows
are "always on top" of the parent window. Not acceptable. Any of the 3
windows needs to be capable of on-topness, per the user's choice.<br clea=
