wxDialog on top of fullscreen app

[zedroopy]

Hello,

I have a problem keeping a wxDialog on top of another app.
wx is called from a Dll of that main app (VBS3), because I don't have access to the main code.
If the app is windowed, the wxDialog manages to stay on top wether it has focus or not.
If the app is switched to fullscreen, the wxDialog disappears, the main app coming on top.

I'm using wxSTAY_ON_TOP as a style, and this code to call the wx stuff:

Code: Select all

DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc(LPVOID lpParameter)
{
	wxApp::SetInstance(new wxDLLApp());
	wxEntry(GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
	return true;
}

Is there an option or a setup that could make the wxDialog stay on top ?

I'm using wxWidgets 3.1.2, compiled as a Dll.

Thank you for any help you could provide.

Hi,
Can you reproduce it in the display sample (it has a menu for a full-screen)?

If you can - please open a ticket at trac.wxwidgets.org (you need to register), and submit a steps to reproduce the bug in the sample.

If you will modify the sample in any way - please submit a patch/diff to the sample. DO NOT submit the whole project code.

Thank you.

If the app is switched to fullscreen, the wxDialog disappears, the main app coming on top.

I googled VBS3 and found Virtual Battlespace Sim. Is that it?

If the main app is running in DirectX exclusive mode, i think there is nothing you can do.

I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/318 ... nning-game and there doesn't seem to be an easy solution.
