I have a small program that I created to send email to a fixed group and with the use of MAPIAddress, to any other individuals that might require it on a specific day. Everything works fine except when MAPIAddress pops up the Address Book, the window is buried under all the other windows open on the desktop and has to be moved to the front. Is there any way to get the Address Book to open on top of all the other windows on the desktop?

If you can get the MAPI Windows's handle, then yes, you should be able to set it as Topmost using WinAPI -

BringWindowToTop(hwnd) *

The BringWindowToTop function brings the specified window to the top of the Z order. If the window is a top-level window, it is activated. If the window is a child window, the top-level parent window associated with the child window is activated.

* the code below is for a 16bit system

* In DLL_USER add the line

VOID PASCAL BringWindowToTop(USHORT)

* the code for 32bit system is

In DLL_USER32 add line

INT STDCALL BringWindowToTop(HANDLE)

Note: You can Set Topmost within OI for an OI window thus * Sets this window to Topmost Call SetStyleEx(Win,8) Subroutine SetStyleEX *

subroutine SETSTYLEEX(CtrlEntID,AddStyle)

declare function Get_Property, Set_Property

• get the current Style

STYLE_EX')

If Style1,2_eqc "0x" then

  convert @lower.case to @upper.case in Style

 MX")

end

• add the new style

STYLE_EX',Style)

Return

Of cause there may be an easier way that I have forgotten, overlooked…

I know I've done this before, but how do I access DLL_User32. I think it has something to do with Declare_Fcns but i don't remember anything else.

Thanks,

Richard

In Sysprog account, System Editor Open File | SYSPROCS | DLL_USER32 ie source code files, record DLL_USER32)

Add the line for 32bit API, if not already there then SAVE. Then -

RUN DECLARE_FCNS 'DLL_USER32'

This makes the function available.
