TopMost = true Problem

I have an application that needs a window to stay on top of the other ones, I thought that TopMost = true would be suitable for this feature but it also makes this window to stay on top of all other application running on my PC, Does anybody know How can I prevent this TopMost window appear when I switch to the other applications??

Jaguar,

Thats expected behaviour. Topmost forms are always displayed at the highest
point in the Z-order of the windows on the desktop.

If you want to set form toplevel for only the first time, use
SetForegroundWindow function. This will bring ur window during start.

To solve your problem, during Deactivate event of your application, set the
topmost property of the form to false. Then again during Activated event set
it to true.

Shak.

Hi,

Try using the Owned property of the form.

a) From your main form, call AddOwnedForm, OR
b) from the second form, set its Owner property.
