Keep a child window in an MDI form on top

[Flip]

how do you do that?

(only on top of the other child windows in the same MDI form)

I don't think there is a way to create the normal "Always On Top" effect with a MDI child, as that would defeat the purpose of the MDI interface. The best you can hope to do is to simulate a modal form like this (in the form you wish to keep on top)...

Private Sub Form_Deactivate()
    Me.ZOrder
End Sub

But that is still a little flawed.

hmmm
perhaps you are right, but it has been my expericance that everything that is reasonably feasible is possible in vb. I don't understand why you think that would be a useless feature. My prog essentially lets you create TI-83+ BASIC programs on the computer (in a MUCH better fasion than TI-Graph Link). The user can pop open a form with a pic of a TI and then press its buttons and the functions will appear in the prog. But I want to give the user the option of keeping this tool on top. I guess it doesn't have to be a child, but i think it is cleaner this way.

Anyway thanks for your and everyone else's help. If i find anything, ill post it, but that you super-smart guys will probly find it faster ; )
