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 an option.
If my program loses focus, the "Totals" form stays on the screen.
Obviously, that's a bit of a problem when the user goes into Outlook
or something.
If there is no command to make a "Topmost" only applicable to a single
program instead of system wide, is there a way to tell when my
application loses focus? I could check an event and hide any floating
forms.
Thanks.

have you tried if you can solve with the "owner" property?
TotalsScreen.Ow ner = FormUnderneath
-P
I don't really understand your reply Pamela.
If I show the form on the parent, which I do, and the Totals form is
not set to Topmost, the Totals form will be hidden under the parent
form as soon as a control (textbox) gets focus on the parent control.

I do not not exactly your situation. I usually use
owner / show (not showdialog) to keep a form always on top of another
and
be free to move it.
Another solution would be to define it as a form contained in a
control
by setting YourFloatingFor m.TopLevel = False.
So I am guessing it can work for you too.
The owned form cannot go under the owner (a owner is a "special"
parent) form.
-P
form as soon as a control (textbox) gets focus on the parent control.
Shane
That worked great.
Thanks

Hello,
First I want to refer to the problem "WebRequest : execute a button" of
a few days ago.
The way I solved it, I loose my session, and as a consequence my
session variables. I don't want to keep those variables, as an
alternative, as ViewState variables because I don't want to transfer to
many hidden fields.
This is the code I use :

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.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
