I'm only familiar with Visual Basic, but I know that if you load modular forms they'll stay on top of everything else. I suppose you could set BorderSytle (or whatever it's called in your language, the type of border on the form) to None so it has no title bar or anything around it. From there you could do pretty much anything.
TIP: I know very little about C/C++ but you can often set a form to be modular from the command line. For example, in Visual Basic you could do this:
formwhatever.show 1
Just appending the 1 makes it modular. I guess that means nothing if you don't know Visual Basic, though.
TIP: Microsoft Visual C++ does include a form editor although from my experience with Visual C++ it says nowhere how to show these forms.
TIP: In the "C++ Tutorials" book included with Visual C++ it shows an example of how to do this but it is a tad vague.
TIP: Be sure you unload the form when you are done. This can be acomplished eaisly enough, I'm sure. It's just...
unload me
...in Visual Basic.
