    Floating Forms

    Hey people,

    I need to create a floating form that floats throughout my VB application... any ideas??? The form should not lose focus even if say, a button in a background form is clicked...

    thanks in anticipation,

    Dylan

    Hi Dylan,

    There is a property of the form called TopMost. By setting it to true it will not lose focus when other forms' buttons are clicked. Just a warning though, if you have more than one visible form with the TopMost property set to true then the one that is most recently displayed is the topmost.

    Ciao,
    <! Ozki !>

    thanks

    Hey ozki...

    sounds good... i did have a shabby work-around ... something to do with calling the form.zorder() method... will try this out and see...

    by the way are you a cricket fan, by any chance?

    have a good one,
    cheers,
    Dylan

    I sure like my cricket... being Australian there's only a few international sports where we make a name for ourselves

    Well I think by the way Australia's playing lately NZ will win, but I don't like admitting it... hehehe. My Wife's a NZer and she'swrapped about NZ winning against Australia. I can't watch it at the moment as I am in Switzerland and they don't have to much cricket on the TV here, just highlights...
