Hi,
I'm porting some X windows software written mainly in C to Cygwin (we
would go for a cross platform gui toolkit like Qt, but this is a quick
way to get it working on Windows while keeping a single codebase).
Its nearly complete, but I want to use native win32 style open file
dialogs to make it a lot easier for the user.
Cygwin gives me access to the win32 api, and I've been able to bring
up an openfile dialog, but it always appears behind the X-windows
applications that are running (quite annoying).
I'm looking for a way to keep the open file dialog in the foreground.
What is the best way to do this? SetWindowPos(), SetActiveWindow(),
SetForegroundWindow()? All of these need a handle, how do I obtain a
handle for this dialog?
Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry if this is a basic question,
I'm very new to the win32 api (much more of a Python guy).
Heres the relevant C code that brings up the dialog (in a seperate
function):

The Create_new_console flag was EXACTLY what I needed. Works
perfectly. Thanks

I have two console applications. I want one to launch another one so
that the new process launches in its own command window. To date,
I've only started new processes with the 'CreateProcess' call, but
that always seems to launch the new process in the same command window
as the existing one. How can I get a new one to launch?
Thanks!

Hi.
Forgive me if this sounds really stupid, but how would one make this
work? See, what the program does is to create a "signaling" NaN (not-a-
number) invalid floating point value, and then to create an...

The tab key being ignored is often a symptom of not calling
IsDialogMessage in your message loop. That's definitely where I would
look first, rather than any possible interaction with MDI.
