[RESOLVED] How Do I Keep A Form At The Front Until The User Clicks An Option?

[Louix]

I'm making a custom message box (it has a few extra things you can't do with a normal one) and I need to keep it at the front until the user chooses Cancel or OK, how?

When you say "keep it at the front", do you mean only within your application (like a normal message box) or system wide (like the secure desktop in Vista)?

If you mean just within your application then you call the pop-up via the ShowDialog method rather than the Show method.

If you mean system wide... well, I believe that'll require some Win32 API usage but I don't think it's a good idea from a usability standpoint.

Thanks kasracer! That's exactly what I needed, thank you very much!

I didn't mean system-wide because that is quite a bad idea lol.

Ok good. You had me worried for a second
