I want to have one main window at a time (better display in running app
screen), however I didn't to change it.
I try code like

newForm.Show();
newForm.BringToFront();
oldForm.Hide();

where old form is the one I used to start the application
(Application.Run(oldForm))
but the new form don't appear, it's miniaturized !....

I'm working on PPC, any thoughts ?
 
Hi Lloyd,

A few things to try:
1. Make sure you don't have FormBorderStyle set to None. This makes a
window have the WS_POPUP style and it will behave differently with regard
to z-order. You shouldn't need BringToFront at all.
2. If you want a form to not appear in the Running Programs list, one way
to accomplish this is to set the form's Text to an empty string.

Hope this helps,
-Katie
