Bring To Front or Keep On Top: Forms

[scratchtrax]

I have two forms. One is larger in size than the other. The smaller one is
opened on the click event from one of the controls on the larger one. If
while the smaller one is open, the user happens to click the larger one
behind it, the smaller one is then hidden behind the larger one. Is there a
way to keep the smaller one 'On Top' or programatically 'Bring To Front'? I
have looked around and seen Alan Browne and John Vinson suggestions to
similar things from previous boards. However, the set focus or the links
they have provided in previous discussions haven't helped. I don't doubt
that its user error on my part. How can this be done?

Hello scratchtrax,

I you want the smaller form to always be on top until it is closed you can
have it set to Modal. Modal makes it behave like a dialogue box so that you
can't click behind it.

Go to the Form Properties and set Modal to Yes.

If you need any more help on this post back.
