I've been puzzling over the best strategy for my application for a while now, but keep on coming up against brick walls, so i thought i'd pick the brains of the people here.
The application has a main form from which subforms are launched (but kept within the boundaries of the main form). The main form should always remain behind the subforms (like the desktop always remains behind the applications in windows) but still respond to click events, and there is the equivalent of the windows taskbar at the bottom of the application to manage all the forms.
The attached picture explains it better. I created the app using MDI, but i had to use a borderless form as the background so it keeps coming to the front. I haven't managed to find a way of keeping one form to the back.
It seems that i can't do it that way, so i was wondering if anyone knew of similar examples, or other ways in which this could be achieved.
