Checking for TopMost form/app?

Question

Good morning everyone, Is there a way to query the OS and find out which application, if any, is set to be in the foreground? What happens if you have 2 applications that have the ability to be "TopMost" and you set both of them to do so. Will they conflict? Thanks, Bob

Answer 1

If you set a form to TopMost then it will stay above every other form in your application. It will even be more annoying and stay above any other Windows applications. If you want your form to float above your main application, but not float above other applications then use the AddOwnedForm function to accomplish this. Here is some sample code: MyNewForm form1 = new MyNewForm(); this.AddOwnedForm(form1); form1.Show(); The word "this" is your main form. Now your new form will float like a toolbar above your application. I hope this helps. Guy Loughridge
