Unable to keep form on top

I'm trying to create a screensaver using managed directx, but the same
happens with the wizard generated screensaver project in VC# 2005. Any
window set to "always on top" is not getting obscured, like the standard
windows screensavers can.
I've tried setting the presentparams for the device constructor to
"windowed=false".
I've set the form property Toplevel=true, topmost=true, and called
..bringtofront().
Anybody know what I'm missing?
 
Just a guess, but by setting a form to "AlwaysOnTop" would put it above the
screensaver, right?
 
Correct, but screensavers get around this somehow.

-open the task manager and test one of the standard screensavers, you'll see.
