hi,

i'm trying to create top level ToolWindow (derived from
System.Windows.Form) for my application. How can i make my ToolWindow to
always stay on top of my application but not on the top of all other
windows? i would like it to "go down" when the main application window
is deactivated. To put it stright - i want it to be the TopMost form
*only* for my application.
in other words, i would like to achieve an effect similar to the
photoshop tool windows.

ok, don't bother :)

sorry, i was trying to set property
    ToolWindow.TopLevel = true;
but without specifying
    TollWindow.Owner = [my_apps_main_form]
the above didn't worked. when i did this:
    ToolWindow.Owner = this;
    ToolWindow.TopLevel = true;
everything worked fine.
