[the question of how an application can force some part of itself as the top level window is a FAQ]
Could someone please write something here about the topic?

The API function needed is:
SetWindowPos(HWND hWnd, // handle to window HWND hWndAfter, // placement order handle int x, int y, // position (horizontal, vertical) int cx, int cy, // size (width, height) UINT uFlags) // positioning flags
The placement order handle can be either another HWND or once of the following constants:
''HWND_BOTTOM'' 1 Moves to the bottom ''HWND_NOTOPMOST'' -2 Place above all non-topmost windows. ''HWND_TOP'' 0 Move to the top ''HWND_TOPMOST'' -1 Move to the top and keep it there.
