Is there a way to keep a form on top of everything - even other apps ?

TopMost = True
Hello,
I don't think TopMost = True will do it. In most probability it will keep
your form on top of your current app only.
I think there is an API called SetWindowPos that is used for this purpose. I
used it back in good ol' days of VB not Net.
If you look for the SetWindowPos keyword, you can probably find some
examples on the net.

It works for me (topmost means on top of all apps) under XP 5.1 SP 2 Build
2600, FW 1.1 SP1. But there is this in the .net help files:
"With the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system, a top-most form always
stays in front of all windows in a given application. In Microsoft Windows
98, a top-most form stays in front of all windows in all applications. For
example, you may want to keep a floating tool window in front of your
application's main window. The TopMost property controls whether a form is a
top-most form. Note that a top-most form will float above other, non–top-most
forms even when it is not active."
Hmm... That's weird behaviour :)
Well.. I guess for insurance it might be a good idea to use the API. I have
always used it.
Thanks for the tip AMercer, this is something I didn't know
Regards
Cyril

I'd like windows spawned off my by main window to always stay above that main
window, even when you give focus to it... how would I do this? The only
property I find is one which makes that window stay on top of EVERYTHING,
including outside apps... I just want the windows to stay on top of my main
window so that when the user focuses on the main window, the sub windows
don't get lost (I don't put them in taskbar)

Why in the world can this not be done the same way for ANY type of

I've been having a problem with C++ Windows Forms apps not "ending"
when you close the form window. I've searched about this problem all
over the place and most searches have lead me to believe that this has
to do with unreleased form component events or event handlers.
I'm comparatively new to .net and windows forms, in the sense that
though I've been using them for over 2 years now, it's been rather
sporadic. I work with...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
