peculiar behaviour of windows form.

[shailee]

when the control in the form is clicked, the does not bring the form in the front. Only if the title bar is clicked, the form is brought at the front

any ideas what could be the problem.

With the amount of information you have provided it is near impossible to diagnose the problem. Are you doing anything unusual with the Form? Any p/invoke? Third party controls? Are you using any kind of multithreading? Timers? Do you have a normal border on your form? It is enabled, right?
