TopMost within application only

My question is best explained by example.

In the VB.NET 2005 code window, if you do a ctrl+f find, the find window
stays on top when you put focus back to the code so you would think that the
find window is always on top. However, when you drag another application
over the VB.NET window, the find window is not on top of that window.

Its like its TopMost, but only TopMost within the applications forms, not
all applications.

Is there a way to do this?

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

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"

I'm running VS.NET 2002 and keep having problems with form keeping on top with its TopMost property. Sometimes my program places the invoked form on top sometimes not. Sometimes when I click on the form it stays on top as it should, but sometimes TopMost property does not pick up so if I click to some other program it covers the form which supposed to remain on the top. Has anyone experienced similar problems? is there a fix? or I am...

Hi, How can I have a form that is TopMost only within the application it belongs to? 1.I can't use ShowDialog, as it would be modal and I want the user to be able to interact with controls in the main form. 2.TopMost property makes it being above ALL windows, including those that do not belong to the application. I don't want that to happen.

I have a small application, which is to always stay on top. Another application, which it is supposed to stay on top of, is QuarkXPress 5. I'm using Me.TopMost = True in the Form1_Deactivate event, and it works almost perfectly. It always stays on top, except when I click on one of the tools in the floating tool bar of QuarkXPress. Anything else in QuarkXPress is no problem ... document, menus, etc. But click on anything on...

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.

Hi all, I have replied with my own questions to an older post entry but after a while I thought it's better to start a new thread based on the previous one. Perhaps with the new thread I will catch more eyes and find someone who had the same problem and solved it or has more information about it. This is a summary of my problem:

Overview: 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,...
