Problem : Why owned form become TopMost

3 New Member
hi everybody
i have a MDI form that it shows child forms with the "Show()" method .
in one of that child forms i show another form that owned by this form again with the "Show()" method .
this cause this second form become TopMost . means that all another forms are shown behind this second form .
why this happen ?

code is like this :
/// within MDI form
frmChild1 frm = new frmChild1();
frm.MdiParent = this;
frm.Show();

/// within frmChild1 form
frmTest frmtest = new frmTest();
frmtest.Owener = this;
frmtest.Show();


in above example frmtest become TopMost and another child forms are shown behind this form

Hello, My VB.NET application displays a Windows form in a panel on my main form. While my application has the focus, I want the form in the panel to have the "topmost" position, even if it is not the active form. Everything works as expected, but if the user selects another application by pressing a tab in the taskbar, then my "topmost" form still occupies the "topmost"

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.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
