Hi all,

A problem occurs when I show a form (using method Show or Visible set to
true).
The form, when displayed is also activated and I do not want to.
The property Form.ShowWithoutActivation returns false.
How can I display my Form so that it does not activate when it is displayed
?

Laurent

Laurent,

You are suppposed to override this property in your form and return *true*
of you don't want to be activated upon showing.

Thanks, It is ok if the form is not TopMost, but mine is TopMost so I set to
false.

I thought you don't want your form to become active. Returning *false* means
the opposite.

I meant,

I set TopMost to false
ShowWithoutActivation returns true

Thanks for help!
