How can I show MDI child form on the top?

[goodmorningsky]

I want to show a MDI child form on the top of other opened child forms.

frm.Show() doesn't make it show on the top..
How can I do this?

Thanks..

FRM.SHOWDIALOG

Thank you for response..
However it doesn't work since the forms are MDI Child.
I want to change Z-Order of MDI child Forms.

If I use ShowDialog.. following exception occurs.
System.InvalidOperationException: Forms that are not top level forms cannot be displayed as a modal dialog. Remove the form from any parent form before calling showDialog.

FormBorderStyle

What is the FormBorderStyle property set to?

Setting form to be on top without using ShowDialog

Form.TopMost = True ' stays on top like the Find window

How can I show MDI child form on the top?

After you call the

MdichildObjectRef.show()

method of the MDIChild,
immediately call this method:

MDIParentFormName.ActivateMdiChild(MdichildObjectRef)

On top of what? Is it not displaying the form or is it displaying it beneath other forms?
