Hi,

I'm writing an app with multiple forms,
There is a navigation form with several buttons (each corresponding to a form containing various components) that i need to remain in view at all times so it does not dissapear when i click on one of the component forms (all component forms are full screen).

At present i get around this by having the component forms placed to the right of the navigation form so when focus is lost it is still visible. However i want to display the component forms full screen so desktop can't be seen when it's used on alternative sized monitors.

Is there a way I can permanently set the navigation form to be at the front regardless of focus. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Chris

Try this
Command1 control placed on Form1.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form2.Show
Form1.ZOrder
End Sub

Will Form1 continue to be on top if the user clicks on Form2? I think there's an API call to do what the user wants, by setting some kind of special attribute value on the window.


infidel

$ select * from users where clue > 0
no rows returned

I am not sure about API but it will, if you write code like this

Private Sub Form_Click() 'Form2
Form1.ZOrder
End Sub

I think ZOrder method calls that API

Do you mean this API SetWindowPos? I have never tried it.
