I''m trying to make some toolbox windows for my MFC SDI program. Basically the problem I''m running into is that they are not "active" when my application is active (the title box is greyed out). Also, when I minimize the program, they stay on the screen (though I have been able to fiddle this by playing with the flags). Basically I just want them to be active when the application is, and disappear when the application minimizes. Not too bothered about them being able to go outside the bounds of the main application window or not (they can at the moment though). Does anyone have any pointers on making windows like this, or know of any good online resources? I couldn''t find anything relevant to my particular problem at codeguru.com which is where I usually look for MFC related information. Thanks! Starfall
