SetOwner

How do you set an 'owner window' toa window so it's always on top of that window? I'm not talking about setting a parent as it will clip the window inside its region. I have to make the call externally as I'm not calling CreateWindow (which has a field for owner/parent window) but CreateDialog.

Don't think you can:-

After creating an owned window, an application cannot transfer ownership of the window to another window.

Dialog boxes and message boxes are owned windows by default. An application specifies the owner window when calling a function that creates a dialog box or message box.

Sorry. :(

Is this not working? An alternative is to use SetWindowPos to alter the Z-order.
