Force my WinForm application to show…

[d00ape]

I’ve created a Spash-form that shows and hides while my main form initializes. When I closes the splash-form my main window is paced behind other applications in Windows.

How can I force my application form to be the “on top application”?

I’ve tried all these functions:

this.Activate();
this.Focus();
this.Show();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
this.BringToFront();
this.UpdateZOrder();

All of those methods are application level only. They are not OS level.

This does the exact opposite but the windows API call is in there.
