always on top

[rodchar]

hey all,

1.) how do i tell my winform to be "always on top"?

2.) is there any way to make a "hole" in my window form? For instance, as i
drag my form around what ever is behind my form you can you thru the hole of
my form?

thanks,
rodchar

Set the form's 'TopMost' property to 'True'.

2.) is there any way to make a "hole" in my window form? For instance, as
i
drag my form around what ever is behind my form you can you thru the hole
of
my form?

Check out the form's 'TransparencyKey' and 'Region' properties.

Hi,

I think the better way is to define the form region.
