Hi,
I have a parent(containe r) 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
one will go disappear into background. How come? I thought it meant to stay
ontop, no?
Please help as I want it to stay ontop forever until i want to close it.
many thanks,
jon

when you call the child forms, are you using form.show or form.showdialog ?
showdialog makes the form modal, that will keep it on top, but limit your
functionality a bit...

I did some quick experimentation with this and found that if you set the
small form's TopMost property
to True at *Design Time* then you get the problem you describe (that is, it
doesn't stay on top).
However, I tried the following code block at runtime and it seemed to do the
trick.
See if it works for you:
Code:
Private Sub MenuItem9_Click (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MenuItem9.Click
Dim fp As New frmPredator
fp.Show()
fp.TopMost = True
End Sub

I meant to mention - It seems that if you have more than one form with its
TopMost property
set to True then none of the forms remain as TopMost. This is the case
whether you set the
TopMost properties of the forms either at design time or at run time.

Did you spell it that way? 'showdialogue' ? It must be form.showdialog .
What compiler error are you getting? That should work.

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"

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

Hi,
I have a dialog box that must behave as MessageBox does
with regard to the TopMost property. It must be TopMost if
and only if the calling form is TopMost. A static method
creates the dialog box. Is there a way of determining if the
application is TopMost from a static method?
There are some inelegant workarounds but I would prefer to
do whatever MessageBox does.
