Custom Tab Control - OnPaint vs MessageBox - Problem

[warp123]

Hi I will explain my problem,

I got a MDI parent form that contains many child forms. For each child form I'm trying to display a messagebox(with .show).

The issue here is that the messagebox appears over the child form, like it's supposed to, but then the child form reprints itself over the messagebox therefor hiding it. The message box still has the focus so if I press F10 it'll bring it back to the foreground.

Is there a way keep the messagebox in the foreground to begin with?

The tabcontrol I'm using come from this site : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...Second-Edition
