How to run application as overlay to running PPT presentation?

H

I am writing an application than needs to create a text window on top
of a running Powerpoint presentation. I have already created the
application as an invisible form, with fsStayOnTop as the form style. I
have set WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW to keep the application from putting an icon
on the task bar.

The application correctly runs and appears in front of the Powerpoint
slide show, but the PPT show stops running while the overlay
application is present. When my app ends, the PPT show resumes running.
The PPT show type (under Set Up Show) is "Browsed at kiosk full
screen". "Loop continuously until ESC" is checked.

What does my application need to do to allow the PPT slide show or
animation to continue running while my application is in the foreground?
