Dear ALL,
I have a menu in the main form and of coz many other forms (some are dialogs while some are toolwindows) corresponding to each of the functions.
I found that when I minimize the main form, the dialog / toolwindow forms are still on the desktop. I hope to minimize them also. So I have tried setting them as the child form of the main one (MDIChild = true). But If I do so, the rearragning events like tileHorizontally will affect the positioning of the dialog form and the other child documents.
So I back to set MDIChild to False and set the borderstyle = 4 (Fixed Toolwindow) and position ot on the right side of the screen.
In the main form load sub, I type:
frmTool1.Show
it does, but at the back of the main window
so I hope to ask how to correct this?
What is the usual practice (i.e. the settings) VB programmers would use in dealing multiple forms?
Thank you
How can I

Dump this in your form load of the toolbar. It will put in on top and keep it there.
Code:
Private Declare Function 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) As Long
SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, &H1 Or &H2
Now, to minimize with the other form inyour main form's form_resize event place something like this
Code:
If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then
frmTool1.Visible = False
Else
frmTool1.Visible = True
End If

Instead of using &H1 Or &H2 you can simply put 3.
