I am aware of the 'topmost' keyword in VB.NET for specifying a window to be brought to the front or top of the display windows showing. However, specifying 'xlApp.topmost' is resulting in a compile error in my VB 2010 Express project; most likely because my project doesn't include a reference that it needs for 'xlApp.topmost' to start working. What reference do I need to add?

I am trying to write a program that displays a medium opacity image as the topmost form. that I can handle, the part that is giving me trouble is that I want windows to "ignore" the topmost picture form and allow me to interact with any forms behind it (mine or otherwise) as if the see-through form isn't there. I have searched all over but cant seem to find a way to do this.

I'm writing a program that's supposed to keep the employees at my work away from doing things they're not supposed to on the computer. So I made a "launcher" window that's only closeable with password. I also disabled task manager. However when I start an application from my launcher window, the launcher window goes over it because of its topmost property.

View 1 RepliesI'm programming a Minesweeper clone in Visual Studio 2010, with VB.NET, as a Windows Form Application, and I'm having trouble with the Game Won and Game Lost forms. When I show those forms, I want the game form to still be visible, so that the player can see where the mines were, but I don't want the game form to be enabled until the Game Won or Game Lost form is closed. Exactly like Windows Minesweeper does when you win or lose.

I'm trying to make one form in my application always on top of other forms. Not the 'topmost' property, I want it on top JUST within the application.
View 8 RepliesWhat I need to do is Set my new form to be the top most form of only my application while still having click access to the main form. Right now I have tried the property Topmost = True but the thing about that I really do not like is it puts the form above every single windows form. I only want the form to be the topmost of my application. The showdialog also will not work because I no longer have access to my main form with click events.

I am making a crosshair(for a game) which needs to be absolutely topmost!//. This can only be done if the form's topmost property is true, and the next second false, and then true...etc..
But is there a possibililty to make sure your form is absolutely topmost.. Or make another program/application not topmost so that yours is.
My questions is only about the topmost not about the rest of the application because I have made everything already.

View 1 RepliesI have currently a major project on the go, and I have made a custom control that I wish to use much like a ToolTip, however, everytime I hover over a "panel", its location does not appear at Cursor Point, and it seems to be appearing behind the panels when shown, and not above (I have attempted re-ordering the panels on my form by sending them to the back, but does not appear to work). Below is my current code:
[Code].....
Protected Sub Menu1_MenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu1.MenuItemClick
End Sub
In VB.net, we have the Handles keyword, I'm wondering if C# has anything comparable. Or do you have to manually wire all the methods to each control's event (in ASP.NET especially)?
