TopMost and BringToFront for Form showing in a Thread.

Question

This is my first post here so I wanted to say hi. My question is this: I have a form that is used to display the progress of an image conversion. It is running in a thread that loads when a FileSystemWatcher event is fired for the creation of a particular file and ends when a FileSystemWatcher event is fired for the deletion of that file. I have no problem getting the form to show and display the data I need the problem is that it loads in the taskbar and is behind all my other windows and only comes to the front when I click the taskbar item. Setting it to TopMost and/or calling BringToFront for the form does not seem to help either. I assume this is because the form is running in a thread. But is there a way to make this form TopMost when it loads. Thanks a lot.

Have you tried loading the form as a dialog box of your application or as a child window of your application? If you can post a simple application that demonstrates your scenario it would be helpful.

Have you tried to opening up your new form as a child form to the main form or as a dialog box of your application?
