A question about c/c++;

Normally when a dialog appears it it impossible to interact with then main program until the dialog is closed. This is called a ''Modal'' dialog. The other type, which is used less, is called a ''Modeless'' dialog. With a Modeless dialog it is possible to interact with the main program as well. A. example would be the search and replace dialog on microsoft word.
I assume your using windows, but I don''t actually know how to create a modeless dialog. I suggest you search for ''Modeless Dialog'' in the help file.

Create a child window instead of a popup window.

but how to make them actively
in other word,
how to make their headline blue at same time?
can you understand me

Why not skip the ''headline''? Create a frame window without a title bar that the user can´t move.

oh! i am sorry my english is not good
and you cannot understand me
i means how to create a toolbar like flash
it can keep active with main window

Create a window from a MSVS 6.0 resource file.

HWND l_hwndDialog = CreateDialog( (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(l_hWnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), MAKEINTRESOURCE(l_iControlID), m_hWnd, (DLGPROC) WndProc);

The dialog box should have: style = Child, tilebar = zero.

Then it will be possible to push a button on the dialogbox or write text in a editbox control and the main window will still ''have focus''.

i am sorry
but the compiler tells undefined keyword or key name :tilebar
can you tell me more carefully
i am a beginner

What compiler do you use?

visual c/c++
and titlebar are alse wrong

this is my dialogbox resource:
Tool DIALOG 5,50,100,80
STYLE WS_CAPTION|WS_VISIBLE
TITLEBAR zero
CAPTION"Tool"
FONT 10,"Arial"
{
PUSHBUTTON "Line",IDB_LINE, 5,5,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Ellip",IDB_ELLIP, 40,5,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Rect",IDB_RECT, 5,20,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Arc",IDB_ARC, 40,20,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Select",IDB_SELECT, 5,35,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Fill",IDB_FILL, 40,35,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Picure",IDB_PICURE, 5,50,30,10
PUSHBUTTON "Dropper",IDB_DROPPER,40,50,30,10
}

I´m talking about how to remove the title bar with the visual resource editor in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0... The checkbox called Title Bar. But u can also do it this way:

int style = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);

if( style & WS_CAPTION)
style = style ^ WS_CAPTION;

SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, style);
