Problem with multiple forms

[pkruger]

Hello,

My application makes use of multiple forms. The problem is that if one form
is loaded and shown, and I close this form to go back to the previous form,
the previous form is displayed, but sometimes the focus is returned to a
background app, and not the main app.

My code to show the next form:

Private Sub btnStock_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnStock.Click
Dim frmStockGUI As New frmStock
Me.Hide()
frmStockGUI.btn StockCreate.Sel ect()
frmStockGUI.Sho wDialog()
Me.Show()
btnStock.Focus( )
End Sub

I even set the focus to a button on the main form, but no luck :-(

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Pieter Kruger
