Parent Forms and Window Form Tools

I'm hoping someone can help me solve a small problem that I have. I'm working
on a windows app that has a parent form. On the parent form there are several
objects such as a listview, buttons and textbox fields. When a user clicks a
button a child form opens up; however, when the childform opens it shows up
under the objects on the parent form even if it has focus. The objects on the
parent form are always on top. Is there anyway where I can change this
functionality so that when a child form is open it will be the top object?

Terrance,

Do you mean that in your parentform topmost is set to true,

Cor,
On my parentform topmost is set to false. Any child forms that I call
topmost on them are set to true. My problem is that on my parentform I have a
listview and label objects. When I call a child form the objects on the
parentform float above the child form making it look really weird. Thanks.
