    Hey,

    >From within my security-dll I am able to display the
    'CredUIPromptForCredentials' dialog.
    Because this dialog is popped up from code within my dll I have set the
    parent window of this dialog to be the Desktop.

    I am already able to bring this dialog visible (if there are other window's
    occupying the desktop) by using
    SetWindowPos( hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE ) in a
    seperate thread
    where the 'hWnd' parameter is the window I have found with the 'EnumWindows'
    function.

    What I am not able to do is set this window the active window of the system
    because when I press a key to fill
    in the UserName the input is going to another application although the
    title-bar of the 'CredUIPromptForCredentials'-dialog
    seems to be active (I suspect so because the color is the one of an active
    window).

    Some idea's ?

    I have already tried using SetWindowPos( hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW )
