Anyone know of a program that forces a window to be active like some games? So, when you click out the game it stays active and always on top.

Thanks.

Someone in the General Programming section could probably make a program for you. It's pretty simple I think.

Code:
SetWindowPos(FindWindow(_T("GameClassName"), _T("OrGameWindowName")), (HWND)HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);


That's all you need.

Edit:

You could also just add it to its ExStyle:

Code:

HWND hWnd;
DWORD dwExStyle;

hWnd = FindWindow(_T("ClassName"), _T("OrWindowName"));
if (hWnd != NULL)
{
    dwExStyle = GetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE);
    dwExStyle |= WS_EX_TOPMOST;
    SetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, dwExStyle);
}


Edit 2:

You might also be able to use these functions:
SetActiveWindow
SetFocus
SetForegroundWindow

Thanks, too bad my VB teacher at school is an angry old lady.
