Bring Up The WinForm Application

[A.M]

Hi,

How can I bring up a WinForms application window among several other
windows?
I have tried Show() method, but it doesn't always work.

Thanks,
Alan

Hi,

Try setting the Form.TopMost property.

That will disturb other applications. I need to bring up the form up on
certain events and have the form minimised in normal situations.

Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to bring up windows on certain
events and have it minimized in normal situations. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Could we set the TopMost property to true at the beginning of certain event
and set it to false at the end or in another event handler when form
becomes inactive. Also we set it to minimized there.

this.TopMost = true;
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
//.....
this.TopMost = false;
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;

HTH.

If you need only to bring up a form, you can use the Form BringToFront()
method.
Otherwise if you need a TopMost window that stay ever on top, you can use
the TopMost property ;)
