Hi Dave,
Sorry for letting you wait for so long.
What you after is the owner window behavior, which we should set our Form's
Owner form to Word document. For more information about owned window
feature, please refer to "Owned Windows" section in the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui
/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowfeatures.asp
As you can see, owned window has:
1. An owned window is always above its owner in the z-order.
2. The system automatically destroys an owned window when its owner is
destroyed.
3. An owned window is hidden when its owner is minimized.
Normally, we can use SetWindowLong with GWL_HWNDPARENT to specify our
Form's owner. Like this:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
IntPtr hWord=FindWindowEx(IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, "OpusApp", null);
SetWindowLong(this.Handle, -8, (int)hWord);
SetWindowPos(this.Handle, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_SHOWWINDOW|SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
}
Note: I used SetWindowPos to flush the cached window style bits. Hope this
helps.
