Top Level Form on Top

[pthalacker]

I have never used a top-level form before, but I just deployed a little applet in one. If there are any open windows on the desktop when it runs, it comes up in back of them. How do I make it appear on top of other open windows?

Hi Pamela,

The way I usually do this is like so:

DECLARE INTEGER SetForegroundWindow ;
  IN User32.DLL INTEGER nHandle
SetForgroundWindow(THISFORM.HWnd)

There might be an easier way, but the above is pretty reliable.

You could also set the AlwaysOnTop property of the form to true.

Thanks, Mike. It seems like the Fox team would have created a native way to do that. But whatever works.
