Messagebox appears behind form

I have a form (sizeable border, shows in taskbar, nothing unusual), which
is the main form of my application (called MainForm). During an operation
progress is shown in another form, that is shown from within the main form
with: pf.Show(this);

When I have to show a messagebox, the messagebox is shown behind the main
form. The messagebox is shown from within the main form. I tried both:
MessageBox.Show (this, ...);
and:
MessageBox.Show (pf, ...);

How can I get the messagebox to show on top of the main form (or even
above the progress form)?

I'm having a strange problem (or at least it seems strange to me) trying to display a MessageBox in a VC++ .NET forms application. If I put the call to MessageBox::Show in the form's .h file, it works just fine. If I put the call in the .cpp file, I get the following two errors: error C2653: 'MessageBoxA': is not a class or namespace name error C2660: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::Show': function does not take

I've been trying to figure out how to show a simple messagebox with an OK button in my web client program (C#). I have looked at every reference to JScript and MessageBox that seemed even remotely like it could help, both in the VS help and in this NG. I found lots of examples of people saying how easy it is and showing examples, and examples in the help. But I have two problems: 1. All the examples show all the code in HTML, usually...

One option of the messagebox object indicates it can be placed over a selected window rather than just appearing centered on the desktop. The function is "Overloads Public Shared Function Show(IWin32Window, String) As DialogResult" I have unsuccessfully tried: /// Dim winhandle as string Dim rtn as DialogResult winHandle = Me.Handle.ToString()

Hi, It appears displaying a messagebox in a validating event will cancel the subsequent event. In the program below, button 2's click event doesn't fire if you open a dialog box in button 1's validating event. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks Al Imports system

Sometimes users (including myself) accidentally click on the application close icon in the application menu bar when they meant to just click on the 'X' for the form. Of course the app closes and this is very annoying. So, I added a messagebox to my hidden StartAppForm in the Unload event. Now when the application closes the user is presented with a message so they can abort closing in case they don't really want to close. This has been...

Hi, I'm trying to display a MessageBox after a FolderBrowserDialog. I see that it gets displayed, but not activated. The form is not in front and when I have some other forms open the MessageBox is hidden behind them. The problem seems to occur only after using the FolderBrowserDialog. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
