We are using the Console Compiler for data input, and use the DLL Compiler to bring up a window containing field specific help if the user needs it.
The problem we are encountering in win98 is that when we call the DLL the first time to bring up help over the console screen, windows seems to treat the DLL as a seperate program and the help panel ends up flashing on the task bar.
Subsequent calls to the DLL after the help screen has been maximised and then closed work OK and arrive topmost to the Console screen.
We are not using %WS_EX_TOPMOST only %DS_SETFOREGROUND
Is there a work around to this Windows quirk?
