    Angry Put control or form on desktop

    Hi,

    I'm trying to develope some tool that is located on the desktop like a stikynote. which means it doesn't behave like a normal window. doesn't get minimized and is always behind all other windows.

    I tried to use SetParent on a UserControl with the GetDesktopWindow.
    It lookes good - it puts the usercontrol embeded in the desktop BUT - the usercontrol doesn't get the focus when i click on it!!
    If i have a TextBox in it - i can't use it. I can't type anything in the TextBox.

    any solutions??

    I think there are SDKs and other types of components you'll have to use in your code to make something like that. I don't know any but I hope someone else can help you
