Child Form Focus

[BluDog]

Hi

I have a small form that i am using as a custom dropdown menu, this is
working really nicely, however when the form is shown it steals focus
from the parent form. My popup form has no border and i would like it
to leave the parent form with the apparent focus. Is this possible?

Protected Overrides Sub OnDropDown(ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim ColorPicker As New ColorPicker
ColorPicker.Location = PointToScreen(New
Point(ClientRectangle.Left, Bounds.Height))
ColorPicker.Show()

MyBase.OnDropDown(e)

End Sub

In this instance the form is shown as the dropdown portion of an
inherited combobox control.

Thanks

Blu
