    DataGrid

    I am developing a real-time stock market trading application that includes several forms. Each form updates its information dynamically whenever stock market data changes (10 seconds in my program).

    The application can have several forms opened at once. My problem is that whenever a form that has a DataGrid is updated, it will receive focus and is brought to the front. So for example, if the user is working on the "Order" form, which does not have a DataGrid, and the "Quotes"form - which does contain a DataGrid - is behind "Order", the "Quotes" will pop up in front on an update and hide part of "Order" which interrupts the user.

    Is there a way to have the data in the Quotes form update but without receiving focus? I have noticed that the forms that contain only labels and textboxes have the ability to update their display without obtaining focus. Can the same be true of a form that has a DataGrid?

    Hi
    All you need to do is to rebind the datagrid to the specify datasource in the Quotes form and bring the form forward by using Me.BringToFront()
