Refreshing a modeless window

Hi,

How do I stop a window from coming to the foreground whilst refreshing it.
I have a modeless form open while I am working on my main application. Depending upon the options clicked in the main application I need to refresh the option buttons and load some pdfs in the modeless form. Whenever I try to do this the modeless window comes to the foreground.
i tried using,
frmmodeless.show vbmodelesss , Me
but this didn't help.

Any solutions?

thanks

Did you try with SetWindowPos?

VB Code:

Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)
 
Private Sub Form_Activate()

    'Set the window position to notopmost
    SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
End Sub
