Parent-Child Window Interaction

[cburak 0]

Hi all,

I created a small gui for monitoring some usefull informartion about my system like a tiny toolbox.(like what is in clipboard currenty and many more) And I want to use the advantage of parent window option in 'GuiCreate' but just wondering if I make my gui child of for example an excel document or a webpage which is in Chrome will my gui interact his parent application? (I dont send any messages to parent in any way and I dont want any interactions or slowing down parent application)

 

Basicly I want to know when I make my gui child of an application does that change anything about parent application?

Thanks for help.

No.

Only difference is parent has another child.

cburak,

And I want to use the advantage of parent window option in 'GuiCreate'

 

What advantage?  Can you explain more of what you want to do, or provide an example?

Actually I dont know much about child-parent windows. I will try to explain My gui is overlapping with 'taskbar'. But taskbar allways top of my gui. Even I use 'topmost' style (when I use anything on taskbar it becomes top forever). My main purpose is make my gui allways top of everything. I succeed that by making my gui child window of a Full-Screen application.(But that is not working everytime - I thinks its depends on application) I also noticed some of 'Windowed Full Screen' applications allways top of taskbar too like idiot adds popups on web. I tried to copy their style (by Autoit Window Info) to my gui and failed. Maybe it was a dummy idea. I have an other option that hiding taskbar. I keeping this option for last because its annoying for me. But if there is no way to arhcive this then I will have to use it

Shortly:

If there is a way to making a gui even top of takbar thats will work better for me than using child option.

Iam using Win8 64bit.

Thanks
