How to make a window always on top

[Aceix]

Hi all,
I want to make a window tgat stays always on top like that of a cybercafe software. A window that cannot be closed, minimised, deactivated, etc... with wxWidgets.
So far I've tried making a frame window with the wxSTAY_ON_TOP flag. It works, but not to perfection because, when i press the windows button, the start menu interferes with the window(and taskbar too). Also, the task manager, how to deactivate it.

so,
- a wjndow that strictly stays on top
- deactivate task manager

This isn't a C++ (or C) question so you might not have much luck here. Unless a wxWidgets programmer passes by...

You could go and find them in one of the wxWidgets forums?

wxWidgets uses default operating system libraries under the hood. At least on windows there is no such thing as "window always on top". If 2 windows have the same style the last one steals the focus anyway (task manager is a "on top" window under certain setting)

You could try a DirectX window (like games is using) and try to use a keyboard hook.

Are you sure you want to disable task manager ? You can do it with a registry setting, but most likely end-users will not like it (and antiviruses will complain too)
