Form.BringToFront() not working without shell

[John Roberts]

Hi,

I have implemented a shell in the compact framework for a Windows CE.NET
device.

Up until now, I've been running my application with the standard Windows
CE.NET shell present (explorer.exe). Now that I've removed explorer.exe and
run my app instead, Form.BringToFront() has stopped working. i.e when
called, the form no longer comes to the top. I'm assuming explorer.exe had
something to do with this.

Anyone know of a workaround to get the form to come back to the top?

BTW, all the forms are executing in the same process but within their own
thread...

TIA,
- John

Have you tried SetForegroundWindow?
