To see a Minimized Form

I have set my main form to be maximize with the taskbar not visible. I am then allowing the user to create multiple instances of another form.
The problem is when one of these new forms are minimized they disappear behind the main form. I have them set to not be displayed in the task bar. If I force them to the front using Zorder then I am unable to do any events on the main form.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

Why don't you use an MDI-form to be the main form? Then the only thing you need to change is that you need to set the MdiChild property of the child forms to True.:)

I am trying to avoid using the Mdi form. It would require lots of changes in my project.
Another possiblity I could use is to set the form to always on top, like you can with Winamp, but I don't know how to do these either.

Can anybody help?

Code:

---

Public 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

---

To use

Code:

---

SetWindowPos Form1.hwnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3

---

Works great!!

Thanks guys.

Or use ZOrder.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_LostFocus()
    ZOrder
End Sub
