Detact child window from MDI.
« on: March 13, 2013, 05:11 PM »
I have an application that has a child window that I would like to move outside the application frame.  I was looking at Skrommels DetactVideo and was wondering if it could be hacked to detact a child window from an MDI layout.  Any ideas or suggestions?  Anybody else ran into something that might provide the functionality I want?

Real mdi applications won't allow to move a window outside of the main window, so it's going to be close to impossible of doing what you request... :huh:
