Focus on a form

[Phil]

Hi

Does anybody know of a way of preventing a form from receiving the focus?
Okay, I know I can do it via a ShowDialog call in another form but what if I
don't want to use that technique.

My problem is that I'm displaying a form in the middle of another form. When
I click the outer form, the inner form disappears. I don't want this to
happen. How can I do this without using ShowDialog?

Hi,.

This is one way: In the LostFocus event handler of the second form, have
Me.Focus()

Not sure this is what you are looking for.

Why do you not want to use showdialog? You can try the topmost property of
the inner form. Set that to true, see if that does the trick for you.

Hi Chris

I'm just curious on how to do it without showdialog. Thanks for the
suggestion.
