Make non modal form modal

[Franz Gsell]

Hi together,

I have got a "sliding" form which becomes active when a user clicks on
a button in another form. In my function which starts the "sliding"
mechanism is a call to this.Show() to make the sliding form visible
at first (an no ShowDialog(), because I have to do the sliding).
After that the form is "sliding" with a ticker
(just like a notification window in the taskbar which "slides" up).

Now when the "sliding" is finished I don't want to loose the focus
of that window. The user has first to make some action in the "sliding"
form (e.g. fill some textboxes, set some checkboxes and so on ...).

But when I click somewhere else the sliding form looses focus and gets
deactivated. How can I prevent this??

Cheers,
Franz
