    Hey there,

    I want to have a floating form in my application. I need this form to stay on top of all other forms (like an info-box) within my application even if it doesn't have the focus. I don't want it to be "trapped in" like a child form and I don't want it to be on top of other applications.
    If you ever used a recent Lotus application (ie: Notes, WordPro), they use this type of info-box form to display properties.

    So far I've been able to keep the form on top, but system wide - not good. I can make the form float and not be trapped in but if the main form gets the focus, the "floating" form moves behind - not good.

    Any ideas/suggestions? Sorry for my not using the right terms, I'm still coming up on VB.

    Just set the Parent of the form to your main form:
    Code:
    frmFloat.Show Me
    I believe that'll work for you.
