When you say "I would like that window to be always on top" are you
saying that the application needs to keep on responding while the
configurati on window is open?
When the configuration window is open, I want it to be on top, and the other
would
be locked.
If you are, set the TopMost property of the Form you are creating to
true before showing it.
It locks the main window, so yes :o)
TopMost does not 'lock' the main window
If you're actually talking about displaying a Modal window (which I
suspect you are), use the Form's ShowDialog() method to block until the
Form has closed.
What do you mean by "Modal window" ?
I have tried the TopMost property, and it locks the main window, but it
seems that your solution is doing the same. So, I will take a look at
ShowDialog(), and see if I have another question :o)
Thanks.
