Since the editing is being done in the main window, that is currently active.
And so the last active window becomes inactive.

-this i understand completely

So you will need to do custom drawing as you said to make this look active.

-if nothing better comes up i will have to sadly...

Another idea will be to make the floating window as top most so that it stays above all windows, even the main window.

-the floats already are on top of the main window but if they don't overlap each other or any other windows then being on top doesn't really show anything to the user...

Another way will be to change the title bar of the floating window to read something like "Active Window".

-i had the same idea and already implemented it but i would like to do the "active looking" part too if it is possible somehow

«_Superman_» wrote:
Another way would be to call FlashWindow[^] on the floating window till the editing is done, probably in a thread or something.

-i doubt the users would like that

Thanks for the suggestions.

p.s: Now i am experimenting with WM_NCACTIVATE[^] to not allow inactive painting but i either misunderstood something completely or the help there is misleading because it has the nice sideefect of really not allowing the window to loose activity, once it is up it stays active and i can't click anythging on the main dialog until i close it (from the online help i thought it would only affect drawing).
