Make a Child window WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW style

Hi,

I have created a form (lets call it MyForm1) with all of my controls positioned correctly within it. Once MyForm1 is loaded, I then set the its parent window to another App i.e. Word. This is fine, but I require MyForm1 to overlap the Word window rather than be restricted to the Word application window area.

I know that this can be done using the CreateWindowEx API function to create MyForm1, but as I have already designed the form it would be lot of work to redesign.

Can I set the WS_OVERLAPPED flag for MyForm1 without using CreateWindowEx??? This would be the ideal solution.

Thanks in advance.
