getting application to the front of the screen

[patr0805]

I have a problem my application is a hide working spion the problem is that when I save in documents (The folder my application watching for file creation) then my msgbox(message) come thats not the problem. The problem is that the message msgbox opening behind all of the applications I see on the screen because my application not is on the front. Is there a way I can get the message or application to the front of the screen and all other applications to I click ok in the msgbox?

One way would be to Show a form then immediately Hide it again, just to force your application to the front. This may make the form flicker briefly, which can look a bit ugly. If you first move the form outside the boundary of the screen, then do the Show/Hide thing, it will never actually become visible. (Unless the user has multiple screens, in which case moving the form off one might place it on another.)

Hello,
I have too this problem but i have solved it by using show command.

msgbox "Hello"
me.show

i dont know any other solution but this one
Goodluck

msgbox "Hello"
me.show

This would not resolve the problem, because the message box is shown "modally". That means control doesn't return until after the user responds to the message box, so your Show will happen too late.

Still doesn't matter.

It makes no difference what the second statement is, it won't be executed until after the message box gets a user response and returns control to your code. You need to do it before the MsgBox statement, to have any effect.

Oh
I m sorry i have not read the problem carefully so i confused actually the problem is with msgbox.
One thing which is in my mind is that either the application's main form is set to alwaysontop property or you set it.
Because i have made my app and set its priority to always on top and when i want to see a msg it will show under the main form screen and when i removed the topmot property then msgbox appears normly.

An example is generals and warcraft loader when they start and you open another appliaction the loader would still be visible
