Creating a floating "toolbox"

[Guest]

I have an application with a single main form. I want to create a "toolbox"
form that always floats above the main form, but does NOT float above all the
windows on the desktop. How can I accomplish this in .NET?

Set the form's 'FormBorderStyle' property to one of the tool window border
styles. You can use the code below to show the tool window:

\\\
Dim f As New ToolForm()
f.Owner = Me
f.Show()
///

Thank you. I was missing the "f.Owner" line.
