Always On Top

im creating a simple program, which consists of a single message box which i want to have the always on top feature often seen in programs like msn messenger .etc is this possible with a messagebox? and if so how?

I think you must create your own dialog box or window for this, but I can be wrong.

Use this extended window style: WS_EX_TOPMOST

Code:

---

MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP,"Text","Title",MB_OK|WS_EX_TOPMOST);

---

This results a message box with "cancel" and "help" buttons, but still doesn't make it topmost.

MB_TOPMOST

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

int main() {
  MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP,"Text","Title",MB_OK|MB_TOPMOST);
}
