(vbmodal) for a child form

[VBonliner]

I need to force a child form to stay on top
until its unloaded or hidden. (vbmodal doesn't
work with child forms)

thank you

Add the following to the LostFocus event of the Form you want to keep on top.

Private sub Form_LostFocus
    ZOrder
End Sub

Thanks Megatron!!!

How can you make either 2 forms stay ontop of all the others, or just one form stay always behind the others??

Thanx

I forgot something, its MDI stylez :P

n i thought I'd make it more tricky (cause i realized it wouldn't work otherwise)

can't use
zorder 1 ( I dont think, cause u can only use it once???)

There 4 forms, and 2 need to always be on top of the other 2, they are all mdi forms. Is it possible?

Geeze u reply fast, i push refresh once the page loads and I already had a massive reply.

Sure, if they are not MDI Children...

Maybe I can solve this a different way...

Say I have a form, cannot be moved. It is an MDI child.
However I wish to resize it using the little blue resizing handles like the vb environment... Is it possible without creating another form?

(Im not re-creating a vb draw thingo, so don't freak, lol)
