What frontend are you using? Disable the ontop fucntion on that frontend.

Well, its not supposed to be on top

Like before...if centrafuse is set on top i dont see the iGuidance window flicker for that second and all i see is the embedded skinbedder..with centra fuse not on top i see it...i was playing around with the "OnTop(True/False) script for skinbedder and it worked but i need a way to make not on top after skinbedder is loaded...IE send the OnTop script at startup and then when it is loaded i use the script again to make not on top and skinbedder closes...lol...still trying to get this working man...haha

StartUp=OnTop(True),RunWait(Startup.exe),Embed(iGM ap),Skin(MapSkin),OnTop(False)

If you can make this script work then wont need centrafuse to be ontop...takes care of the problem...ya see?

Your script is the intended usage, but for some very frustraiting reason, the OnTop(Flase) command seems to kill iGuidance.exe from TaskMan??? However, you can just leave SKINbedder always on top and it will still work when you switch screens in CF (don't ask me how). So for CF at least, the solution is just to leave Sb always on top. Give it a try... it will work!

Litterally all OnTop(False) does is: "MainForm.FormStyle := fsNormal", but for some reason when you make a change to the FormStyle, it kills all embedded apps!?!?!?! It's driving me nuts.

Did you try setting that using windows API

Yep. It doesn't close iGuidance, but it doesn't change the OnTop properties either. I used SetWindowLong with STYLE_EX... no worky.

I just set it to ontop at design time and leave it like that. Works fine in CF

.

I will re-visit it later (along with a million other things), but I want to stop working on perfecting embedding and move on to the skinning part for now.

Sounds like a plan
