stupid question

[heartisablack]

hey, really simple question ... how can you make it so that your form is fixed so that you cannot click outside of it and loose it, ilke so that you can't click next to it and loose focus?

thanks

[Bruce Fox]

Like:

Option Explicit
 
' Form ALWAYS Ontop
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Const HWND_Bottom = 1
Const HWND_Top = -1
Const HWND_NoTop = -2
 
Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
  ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
  ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)
  
Private Sub Form_Paint()
    SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, HWND_Top, 0, 0, 0, 0, _
    SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
End Sub

Bruce.

it will not let the mouse outside the form.

Bruce, how does your method differ from loading the form as modal?

Or do you just like using APIs?

MyForm.Show vbModal

[peet]

you can set focus to other apps with a modal form, I think that is what he is trying to avoid.
