Window

[raj23kr]

My macro works on another program which is working in foreground. Macro passes keyboard clicks. I want to display some values on screen but if I create a new window it becomes active and the keyboard clicks are passed to my window. I want a toolbar type window. Macro is to be run only in EXE mode. Can I create a window/control which can be always on top so that it can help in display values also it should receive focus from any program.
