MDI child forms on top of a picture on a MDI form

Author	Message
Justin F. Smi #1 / 2	MDI child forms on top of a picture on a MDI form I have a Picture control covering my MDI Form. When I try to load a child form I can't see it. It's behind the Picture control. Is there anyway I can make my child form come to the top? I've tried using BringWindowToTop, SetParent and SetWindowWord. These give me GPFs -- I try and use the Picture control as the parent. Any ideas? Thanks, Justin Smith

I think you can obtain satisfactory results by making the form a 'regular' non-MDI-child form and using the SetWindowWord() API call as outlined in my article here, "RE: Keeping a form on top of an MDI-parent" (get the latest, from myself; I answered my own question). Good Luck, Terrell Cantrell
