Is there a way to create a modeless dialog box in C++ MFC which always stays on top of the other windows in the application?

My C# Winforms app has an always-on-top modeless find dialog. Since the user has access to the parent window while the modeless find dialog is open they can choose to open a modal dialog as well. Since the modeless dialog is always-on-top it obscures the modal dialog, but it is not possible for the user to close the modeless dialog at th...

In my Win32 app, I had a modal dialog that displays settings that I had to add more settings to. In order to fit the new settings, I dropped a TabCtrl in the dialog and implemented two modeless dialogs.

Is it better to show ProgressBar UserForms in VBA as modal or modeless? What are the best practices for developing progress indicators in VBA? Modeless UserForms require the use of Application.Interactive = False, whereas Modal UserForms by their very nature block any interaction with the application until the core procedure has finishe...
I have a modal Windows form created in VB.NET that I am using for a PowerPoint add-in (this issue would also apply to an Excel add-in, I suspect). The form lets the user select shapes on the current slide from a ListView object. With each selection, the corresponding shape should be selected on the current slide. I know that my code i...

I have a Dialog A and I want it to load a second dialog B which is modeless and stays along side A throughout. Dialog A may then launch a modal dialog C. But when C is present I want B to be usable.

I need to create a console application that has a main() function and pop a modeless dialog, so the console can still work in parallel to the modeless dialog (do other work, like communicating with the modeless dialog).

I'm venturing into making my VB.NET application a little better to use by making some of the forms modeless. I think I've figured out how to use dlg.Show() and dlg.Hide() instead of calling dlg.ShowDialog(). I have an instance of my modeless dialog in my main application form: Public theModelessDialog As New dlgModeless To fire up t...

In Windows Mobile, if I do a call to Show rather than ShowDialog I will get a modeless dialog box. If that modeless dialog fills the whole screen, is there a way to switch out to a different screen?
