My program has a main window, plus several child windows

The main window has a toolbar created with the standard PB toolbar commands - it works with no problems

But, I tried adding a second toolbar, to one of the child windows.
It seems to work properly too, except for this:

If I try to use a Path Requester, it now opens in back of the program's window. If I then click on the program window, I get the "error sound", then the requester come to the front and works properly.

This happens every time, and only for the path requester - message requesters, save file, open file, etc. all come up in front as they should.

And, it is definately caused by adding the second toolbar - removing it fixes the problem.

So, is this a known problem? Is it only allowed to have one toolbar per program? Is it a bug with the Path Requester? Am I doing something wrong?

The second toolbar is created exactly the same as the first:

Window is opened, then the toolbar is created, then the window's gadgets.

I have Windows98se, if it matters.

1. if you use the
CreateToolBar(1, WindowID()) when you open a window

2. then you create another window and
CreateToolBar(2, WindowID())

the "windowid()" might be the problem. when you create the toolbar, the "windowid()" associates the toolbar to its PARENT window. if you create a SECOND toolbar and somehow the "windowid()" is associating the second toolbar with the FIRST window, the z order might be all messed up.

try:

Code: Select all

CreateToolBar(1, WindowID(mainwindow))

CreateToolBar(2, WindowID(childwindow))

also, check your window flags when you create your windows. or the setwindowlong_() command. if you use #hwnd_topmost flag, that will keep that window on top no matter what.
