How do I make a form always stay over a parent form, but
NOT have the form appear over forms outside of the
application.
For example, the Find window in VS.NET acts how I want.
Thanks,

Hi Lance,

I think you find a lot

Hi Lance,
Firstyou need to set the parent form's IsMDIcontainer to True, and then set
the child form's TopMost to True and ShowInTaskBar to False. When show
child form, use following code:
Dim frm As New ChildForm
frm.MdiParent = Me
frm.Show()
Does this answer you question?

Armin's response is what I was looking for, but your info
will come in handy for something I'll be doing later on.

What am I missing form this method that will prevent access to the parent
form when the frmB is active? If you run this method, you can still access
the parent form and its functionality.
Sub WhatEver
Dim frmB As New Form '-- The New Form to display
frmB.TopMost = True
frmB.Owner = CType(Parent, Form)
frmB.Show()
End Sub

I have a Form class that can be open by parent Form or by .NET Remoting
command.
When the parent Form opens the Form - All fine !
But when the .NET Remoting command is trying to Show the Form, the Form
stuck !! I tried to change the Remoting delegate invocation to asynchronous
and to synchronous, yet both cause the same Form Show() to stuck.
When I mean stuck, I mean the the Form is shown but non of it controls are
shown, only gray window...

Hello,
My VB.NET application displays a Windows form in a panel
on my main form. While my application has the focus, I
want the form in the panel to have the "topmost"
position, even if it is not the active form.
Everything works as expected, but if the user selects
another application by pressing a tab in the taskbar,
then my "topmost" form still occupies the "topmost"

another etc.., each form is open with Form.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent. (apart

I've got a form which (in a roundabout manner) calls a second form into
existence which has its TopMost property set (the first form is not the
parent of this second form because of the roundabout manner in which the
second form is created and displayed). The user can then still work on the
first form while the second form floats around above it.
If the first form displays a messagebox via the MsgBox method, the
messagebox appears...

Ive googled and none of my books shows this example either. Im wondering if

I have an MDI form that has 4 child forms that are locked on top of any
other child form in the MDI. I want to unlock these 4 forms so they are
not always on top of all the other forms in the MDI. When I set
ChildForm1.TopMost = false;
It does nothing. Is there another another property I should be looking
at?
Thanks!

How do you keep a form on top of an application only.
I know that I can use "TopMost" to keep a form on top of the other
forms, but that solution is Windows scope instead of only my
application scope.
I have a floating "Totals" screen (among others) so that a user can
see which checks will print, total receipts, and other items. They can
resize the form, and move it anywhere on the screen, so creating a
dock area on the screen is not...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
