If Form.TopMost = true, will the form appear even if the associated
application is not the active or foreground application?

Thanks.
 
TopMost makes a form the highest point in the Z-order of your application,
not other applications. As lons as your application is on the foreground the
form will be on the foreground.

Oran,

No, it will not. Top most forms are for windows in one particular UI
thread, not across the system.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to have the form appear on top of other applications, if the
associated appication is not in the foreground?
 
Oran,

No, it is not. This is something they disabled with Windows 2000, I
believe, as it was an issue that certain forms were dominant over all
others.
