Par2: Keeping window on top
1998-04-21 -- Frank Piscopo
 
I've come across many instances where Clarion users try to solve the problems they 
come across by looking for a solution somewhere other than the Clarion language 
without looking at the Clarion manuals / on-line help first.  It's like buying a 
rear-windscreen defrost heater for your car without bothering to look at your dash to see

if you can find a button labelled "Rear Defrost".

I will not list all the cases that I know of; the primary purpose of this post is to
appeal to 
all fellow Clarion users not to overlook Clarion's built-in features so much and try not
to 
re-invent the wheel every time.

A case in point which has been on the agenda quite often recently is how to bring a 
window "on-top".  Solutions given included API calls, LIB calls, and what not. 
SCREAM!  SCREAM!  SCREAM!  Take a look at this:

MyWindow{PROP:Active} = 1

For those who haven't yet noticed, THIS IS PURE AND SIMPLE CLARION CODE!!!

Maybe the simple things in life are easily overlooked!
