how can i do this?
I have a form, which i do not want to keep on top of all others (TopMost),
yet i dont want it dissapearing when the "show desktop" button is pressed.
Now i know that the show desktop button doesn't minimise all forms, it sets
the desktop to be topmost. so i presume it will mean capturing the "show
desktop" event (somehow). and then shoving my form on top of the desktop
again. i have searched for quite a while but i cannot find any info for
anything like this!
thanks in advance

Lee,
I don't know if this is possible, but at the same time, you should
consider what you are doing. You are basically telling the user "I know
what is better for you than you do".
I sure as hell wouldn't want to use an app that doesn't respect my
decisions in that respect.

what if the app used forms displayed on the desktop (something like web
desktop items). i am thinking of something similar.

In that case, can't you use Active Desktop instead of rolling your own
solution?
