Form2 on top of Form1

[jmsrickland]

How can I make Form2 show on top of Form1 and have it stay there. I tried using top-most and that works however it also makes Form2 on top of every other Form which I don't want

From Form1

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Form2.Show , Me
End Sub

Remember that, in this case:
1. when you minizime Form1, Form2 also will be minimized.
2. when you close Form1, Form2 also will be close.

Sounds like the behaviour of a dialog to me.

Form2.Show vbModal, Me

Form2.Show vbModal, Me won't work as it blocks user's from using controls on Form1 but would be the correct way if Form2 was to be like a modal Form

Form2.Show , Me works correctly

Why not just use the Setparent API

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   Form2.Show
   SetParent Form2.hWnd, Me.hWnd
End Sub
