show another form without loosing focus on current form prob...

[UCM]

 Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" Alias "ShowWindow" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As Integer) As Integer
 Private myWindow As New Form()
 Private Const SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE As Integer = 4

 private form_load(blah, blah )
   ShowWindow(myWindow.Handle, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE)
 end sub

 

It is my understanding that this is supposed to display a form without the current form loosing focus, why doesn't it work?

Calling the API _does_ work. I even posted an example project that does this here.

Yes, I see........... hmm.....dat's odd, it should work fine in my code but it takes the focus away from the form that calls a user control that displays the alert form...

 

 

I'll check my code and post some results here ( hopefully soon if I get time )....
