Maximize!

[Electron]

I've had some good responses in order to get my program to maximize after my timer runs, it's actually just using the Form1.Show command suits me OK. Problem is, I would like the window to float on top of everything else that might be running at the time the window pops=up.

Does anyone have any suggestions to enable the window to do that/

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure but maybe this will help:
In module

Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Private Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Private Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Private Const TOPMOST_FLAGS = SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE

Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, y, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

Public Sub MakeNormal(Handle As Long)
	'// Replaces the window in the ZOrder
	SetWindowPos Handle, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, TOPMOST_FLAGS
End Sub

Public Sub MakeTopMost(Handle As Long)
	'// Sets the window in the ZOrder
	SetWindowPos Handle, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, TOPMOST_FLAGS
End Sub

In a form

'// To use the code just add two command buttons
Private Sub cmdOnTop_Click()
	MakeTopMost Me.hwnd
End Sub

Private Sub cmdNormal_Click()
	MakeNormal Me.hwnd
End Sub

This code comes from VB-Square
