I have an MDI form that has 4 child forms that are locked on top of any
other child form in the MDI. I want to unlock these 4 forms so they are
not always on top of all the other forms in the MDI. When I set
ChildForm1.TopM ost = false;
It does nothing. Is there another another property I should be looking
at?
Thanks!

Hi,
How did you "lock" child forms?
Normally, you would just call the Activate method on the child Form that you
want displayed (or ActivateMdiChil d on the MDI parent).

Thats a good question. I did not "lock" them. I am supporting someone
else's program...
I am trying to determine what is forcing these 4 windows to be on top
no matter what I do. I thought if I set the TopMost value to false(it
was previously set to true) it would take care of the problem but it
didn't. So I am trying to find out if there is another property of the
Forms that can be adjusted. Is there another way to force the forms to
be on top?
Thanks,

Hi,
Not that I'm aware of. Have you tried calling the Activate method on a
visible, MDI child form that isn't one of the four top-most to see if it
shows up?

I just found out that he is setting the parent with a function in a
..dll. When I set the parent with
form.MdiParent = this;
It works fine. Thanks to anyone who looked at this.

If I don't close the splash screen, then everything is fine.

I'm having a problem with modal forms on windows. I've written a very

All works as expected on Linux. The form is modal, not allowing the main

Hi,
I have a dialog box that must behave as MessageBox does
with regard to the TopMost property. It must be TopMost if
and only if the calling form is TopMost. A static method
creates the dialog box. Is there a way of determining if the
application is TopMost from a static method?
There are some inelegant workarounds but I would prefer to
do whatever MessageBox does.
