form state

[Brian]

Hi,
I am using the notifyicon component, instead of exiting my application, I
just hide it, the user has to exit from the icon on the systray. When the
form is hiden and the user double clicks on it, I do a show.... the problem
I have... if the form is being shown but in the background of a bunch of
other apps, I want to be able to double click the icon and bring it to the
fore ground. How can i do this?

Brian,

You can use showontop but everybody will hate you as you set it not direct
off when it is in Top.

I tried the form.activate... does not seem to bring it to the foreground...

yea... i would not want to force an app to the top without giving the user
the option to disable/enable it.
