mfc dialogs in fullscreen exclusive apps

[sebastien maraux]

Hello NG,

I would like to display dialogs such as CDialog and CMenu in
fullscreen exclusive mode.

I noticed that CMenu always display under openGL drivers (my app is a
3D Renderer window) but seldomly under DirectX 8.

Also, even by calling SetForegroundWindow or SetFocus, I don't manage
to display a CDialog in foreground of my FS app.

I also noticed that MS debug/warning (debug assert failed or debug
heap..., a CDialog window) messages can come in foreground of the app,
so this should be possible to display CDialog in foreground, but I
didn't manage to find how.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Ask the folks in a Windows newsgroup since the _standard_
C++ language has no facilities for Windows, Dialogs or Menus.
