DXVideoRender window is topmost

[andrei_m]

Hi,

I'm having strange issue, the video playback window is always on top, even if the window is not visible it still stays on top and I'm not using fullscreen option.
I have tried creting the window for DXVideoRender with HWND_NOTOPMOST, but it does not help.

Does anyone know how to disable TOPMOST feature?

Thanks in advance,
Andrei.

An alternative way is to use BLT render instead. This render has similar performance as DX render and it is not on top of applications Z-buffer.

Hi hsunnet,

Thanks, switching to BLT render solved my problem. I had to take it from 5.3 version, because unfortunately it is removed from 6.0.
