BringWindowToFront does not work with Dragndrop

account.]

(Using MSVC 1.52c)

I have a MDI application with Drag&Drop support. When one drag a file from
explorer, for example, to our application a dialog pops up and ask the user
to confirm the action. The problem is if our application is behind explorer
the dialog thats pops up will also be behind explorer. Not good...

I tried (in my OnDropFiles procedure, WM_DROPFILES) to use AfxGetMainWnd()-
>BringWindowToTop() before opening the dialog, but without success. What is
going on here? I also tried SetWindowsPos, SetFocus etc etc. Nothing causes
my application to be the front one.

I beleive you should be trying to use the SetWindowPos function in CWnd 
with the wndTop parameter something like:

SetWindowPos(&wndTop,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE)

or you can even force a window to stay on top of all other windows with

SetWindowPos(&wndTopMost,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE)

(like DBWIN does)  I hope this helps.
