How do I keep the parent (console window) of a non-modal dialog box from losing
focus when the dialog is clicked?

I had tried the "no activate" property earlier and it didn't work. Now it's
working!

You don't. Clicking the dialogue gives it the focus. However you can
give the focus back with SetFocus() when whatever task the dialogue is doing
has been accomplished.

However you may want to bear in mind that you can only use the keyboard on
the dialogue (eg to tab between controls) if it has the focus.
