Question
Hello,

 I have a form in my application (other than the main form). I want this form to be AlwaysOnTop; i.e. On top of all of the forms on the desktop, regardless of the parent of the forms (not only the forms of my application, but also forms of other running application. Just like the Windows Task Manager.

How can I make such a form, in my application?

thank you very very much.

Answer
hi

Here is the sample code

 frmMdiChild child1=new frmMdiChild();
   child1.MdiParent=this;
   child1.Show();

   frmMdiChild child2=new frmMdiChild();
   child2.MdiParent=this;
   child2.Show();

   frmAlwaysOnTop topform=new frmAlwaysOnTop();
   topform.Show();
   SetParent((int)topform.Handle,(int)this.Handle);  <<< Here is the Magic :-)


Happy Programming!!
