The style is changed, but its behaviour is still as child. I mean, it is not getting top of the other controls, like popup dialogs do.

Try calling BringWindowToTop after changing style for the control.

For compatibility reasons, SetParent does not modify the WS_CHILD or WS_POPUP window styles of the window whose parent is being changed. Therefore, if hWndNewParent is NULL, you should also clear the WS_CHILD bit and set the WS_POPUP style after calling SetParent. Conversely, if hWndNewParent is not NULL and the window was previously a child of the desktop, you should clear the WS_POPUP style and set the WS_CHILD style before calling SetParent.

WS_CHILD is not compatible with WS_POPUP

If you change WS_CHILD to WS_POPUP then you must change the parent window to NULL.

char szBuff[50];
sprintf(szBuff,"%l",n);
status->m_TOTAL_WORDS.SetWindowText(szBuff);
