clicking MDI child does not activate form...

Mike Edgewood

Clicking an mdi child form will not activate the form unless I click on
the sizeable border or title/caption bar. Sometimes it works correctly
and I can click anywhere on the underlying child form and it pops to
the front. Other times, I can type in text boxes of the child for,
drop down combox boxes, etc, while the child form remains behind other
forms. Gotta love .NET, right?

I have noticed countless other posts on this topic going back to 2001,
but no resolution.

Has anyone been able to track down the cause for this behavior?
