There is no general support within Windows for this.  If
you need to be able to do this in your own app, you have
to come up with your own interface and code it yourself.
Unfortunate, to be sure.  In hDC's Windows Express, we use
control-tab to switch between the modeless Quick Key windows
and the main window.
