    [2.0] MDI Forms problem

    Hi,

    Supposing I have several MDI forms, and want it to work like your average MDI forms application, with one exception. I have a few different "always on top" singleton forms. i.e, a tool box, etc... How do I keep them in the MDI area, without them being a complete part of the MDI Child forms array, so that when I maximize the child form(s), it doesn't maximize the specific forms (and also so that they stay on top)

    I guess, it can be done by using GetWindowRect and by subclassing the form and trapping WM_WINDOWPOSITIONCHANGING message.

    But I'll be glad if someone posts a 'framework way'.

    I'm a newbie in C#. Sorry, I don't know the 'framework way'.

    Hmm, I don't mind using API calls if it's absolutely necessary... but like you said, I'd much rather find a '.NET' way.. If I get nothing here, I'll post in VB.NET..

    ...on second thougt, it mightbe done just by SetParent. But that may cause some problem.
