Help needed for a TopMost form, but INSIDE my MDI application....

Hi,

In my .NET 2.0 Winform application, I would like to display sometimes a
"Wait/Progress From" on top of every other forms. I can do that by setting
"Form.TopMost" to true. .

My Problem is : when I minimize the application (or put it in background),
the "Wait/Progress From" keep staying on top of every other applications !

How can I make that "Wait/Progress From" to minimize (hide, or go to
Background) according to the application state ?

I'm looking for a kind of "Inside Application TopMost" not a "System
TopMost".

Thanks for your help !

Steph.

Hi,

A possible workarounds for that is check for the minimize event and act
accordingly
