    Modeless MFC dialog problem

    I have a (some) modeless MFC dialog(s) which is (are) always on top of their parent windows (MDI child forms). If I have two of these dialogs open they 'z-order' between themselves correctly when the focus switches. Is there any way to have them z-order behind their parents...do I have to get into the MDI framework for that?

    There isn't. The MDI child windows are childs of the MDI client. The MDI client is child of the main frame.
    The modeless dialogs (I assume they are tool boxes or property sheets) are owned by some of the above windows, but they are independent top-level windows (they don't have the WS_CHILD style). Therefore they can't be between the MDI childs and the MDI client. You can put them behind your apps main window, or in front of your apps main window, but not somewhere in-between.
