    Help.. How To Stop Window From Gaining Focus

    How would I go about stopping my programs window from gaining focus... For Example, lets say i have 2 forms... 1 form would be named frmmain and the other frmwebbstat.. now frmwebbstat contains a webbrowser control and frmmain a simple command button, frmmain would be loaded first of course and then when the command button is clicked, frmwebbstat would be loaded to check the status of a webpage but the form would be hidden from view... the problem is when the frmwebstat checks the webpage, frmmain looses focus... how would i go about stopping frmwebbstat from gaining focus... i can't just have a timer set frmmain's focus over and over again because other processes need to gain focus if need be, frmwebbstat is the only thing i don't want to have focus set to... i tried handling the wm_activate msg and returning true to the windproc but that didn't work... I have to use the webbrowser control, its not a choice so please don't suggest using Winsock or Inet or anything like that...

    Thanx,
    AAG
