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"
position.
How can I detect when a user selects another program by
pressing a tab on the taskbar? I would like to be able
to detect this and change the "topmost" attribute of my
form.
Thank you for any help.
Best regards,
Max

Take a look at the Form Deactivate event. It is fired when your form
is not the active window.
Good Luck,
Craig

Hi there, I wonder if there is a kind and knowledgeable person out

I have a form with a subform which shows detailed data. For
complicated reasons, which I won't go into, the detail which I require
cannot be determined programmatically, so I planned to have two
subforms, identical in design but with slightly different data,
dependent on a criterion in the main form. Both will sit on the...

Hello,
I have a VB6 app that calls a VB.NET app via named pipes and a third
party component. Inside the VB.NET app I'm trying to force a form to
the top, at least temporarily. Inside a form's public sub I'm doing:
Public Sub ThisIsMySub(TheseAreMyArguments)
Me.Show
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
Me.TopMost = True

I learned about the TopMost property from a recent post which solved some
problems.
But I have a situation where a control wants to make the form it is on be
the topmost.
It could raise an event but be cleaner if it could do it directly.
I tried the following but the compiler thinks Parent is a control (they
don't have a topmost property.)

Hi,
I have a parent(container) form which opens another form, and that one opens
another etc.., each form is open with Form.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent. (apart
from the first one which is just "= Me")
However, there is one form which is smaller than others, and i have set it
to Topmost = TRUE.
but the problem is when i click those forms at the background, the smaller

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...

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!

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
