    Resolved [RESOLVED] Stay ON Top Part 2

    Hey guys

    in my previous post i have asked you guys about always making the from to be displayed as active window......that one was solved\

    But now i wana build a form which always be active( stay on top) and in addition to it user should also be able to use other windows without minimizing it. In other words it should be always on top like desktop buddy which always stays on top, with that user can chat with him and also able to typing and other work.


    For example: suppose there is a small size window and behind that there is a word pad, so i want to display the form on top and plus user should also be able type the letters in that word pad whithout minimizing that thing......

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    TopMost window does let you do other input to other windows as it does that automatically with the API call

    You may have been thinking of Modal windows which block input/interaction with other windows until its closed.

    Glad its solved
