Make an application on top of another window in VB6

Maintaining an application on top of other applications, regardless if they were present on the screen or are called later is.

VB6: Maintaining an application over the others
    * In a general module
    * In the opening form
    * Calling the function
    * Removing priority

Copy and paste this in a General Module.
Public Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal_

    hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As _

    Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long



Public Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Public Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Public Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Public Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Public Const SWP_NOMOVE = 2
Public Const SWP_NOSIZE = 1
Put this in your form.

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Dim R as long

    R = SetWindowPos(SheetName.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)

End sub 

Calling the function
The function must be put in the activation of the form, which will allow to resume this function if the form is selected (as the function may be used by other application).

Private Sub Form_Activate()

    Dim R as long

    R = SetWindowPos(SheetName.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)

End sub 


Removing priority
Private sub SuppPriority()

    Dim R as long

    R= SetWindowPos(NomFeuille.hwnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)

End sub
