Front most c# application

[PhilBray]

Hello,

I am creating an application that is triggered by another 3rd party
app when they create a file in a directory. I use the
filesystemwatcher class to monitor for this file creation event and
then trigger a windows form for my application.

The problem I am having is that when my app is triggered it always
appears behind the 3rd part application. Is there a way I can ensure
that my application will always appear as the front most when
launched.

Many thanks in advance,

Phil

How about trying to set it to be topmost when launching?

I have tried this also. What I am actually doing is I have a windows
form app that loads when a user logs in and this is therefore the
parent form. The 3rd part applicaiton is then loaded by a user double
click on it which I think is then making itself the topmost form. When
the 3rd party application eventually creates an external file my
parent form app creates a child form (also with the topmost property
to true) but this is always behind.

I was wondering if there was some kind of Windows DLL I could import
which provides this functionality.

Thanks,

Phil
