Hi,

On a certain event, I need my application to behave in a certain way
if it is in the foreground (any of its windows) and differently if it
is isn't.

the target platform is Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK.

hence i can't get my application's form collection using openforms and
compare the foreground window's handle. (In order to check if the
application is in the foreground)

how do I get my application's form collection for this target
platform?
Is there another way of checking if the running application is in the
foreground?

Thanks & Regards
Nazneen

You have to manage the form collection yourself since OpenForms is not
supported under the .NET Compact Framework.

P/Invoke GetForegroundWindow and compare the resulting HWND (IntPtr) to
the Handle of your app's current form.

My application's current form is variable. How do I get the form in my
application highest in z-order?

Why not just expose a CurrentForm property from the form collection
manager that you wil need to create?

Hi
excuse my intrusion in this post. How can i expose a CurrentForm
property ?
I use windows CE embedded 6.0 R2 and i develop in VB.NET 2005. My
device is an x86. I write:

Dim Frms As New Collection
Frms.Add(Namespace.frmNavBar, "1")
Frms.Add(Namespace.frmMainMenu, "2")
......
......
but then ?!??

Thanks
Ale

You need to derive a class from Collection and then add the property yourself.
