Yes, i guess i could check for intersections on all windows returned by
GetNextWindow.

The next big problem, however, is that i'm having difficulty telling this
window to show in foreground from the callback, which happens on the main
thread.

I tried
while (::PeekMessage(&message, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) {
cout << "got message" << endl;
::TranslateMessage(&message);
::DispatchMessage(&message);
}
but never get any printouts from this block.
I also tried
Sleep(2000);
after the while, which also doesn't help.

I used idl's Show method. I'll try Win32 show now.
