Splash Screen

[Mori]

Hi,

I have a splash screen that displays on screen before my main GUI. The
splash screen appears in front of any other windows that happen to be open
at the time but when my main GUI finally appears, it is behind the topmost
window, whether it is an open folder or Outlook Express or whatever. How do
I get my main GUI to load in front of any open window?

Thanks
Mori

Hi Mori,

I have the same problem with my application. I tried to make the main form
call BringToFront() but seems to me it only minimizes the problem. It still
happens from time to time.

Now this is something I just thought: try making the splash call
BringToFront() upon the main form at some point. I don't have my code here
to test now but I'd give it a shot.

Hi Mark,

Yes that works a treat. I set the form to topmost = true for a couple of
seconds then set it to false so it behaves like anyother windows.

Thanks,
Mori

Hi Mori
You need to set the forms Topmost property to True

Hope it helps
Mark

Hi Harkos,

BringToFront() just applies to forms and controls in the application and not
other running applications (I think). Well I know it didn't work for me, my
main form still appears behind any other running application on my desktop.

Thanks anyway,
Mori.
