I want to make a popup window like this in a SDI application. If I click the toolbar button, a window will show but don't influence the main window's focus
I try setting style to Child and set its parent to MainFrame Window but it only show the part in MainFrame area (a small part in the toolbar).
If I show its as a modeless dialog, the main window lose focus.
I don't know how to do that. Can you help me ? Thanks very much

Solution 1

You may give a try with "div" element instead of new window. Make the look and feel of the div like "window" using appropriate stysheet.

If you use div then your application will not loose focus which seems your main concern. Hence current UI design will be inside the div now(div will work as a container)

N.B: Sorry guys. It was a fault in my understanding. I am updating it here after Mr. Richard MacCutchan pointed out that this question were related to C and not HTML. I am not deleting it as it would remind me to double check my understanding before I am posting a reply.

I apologise and please ignore my post.

This is a C programming question, not HTML.
