I wan my other app window (not vb form) to appear on top of all other windows and give it top priority (with focus or without don't matter). And when I'm done working with it, take priority away and select another window. What commands should I use?

I am writing a Windows Forms application. It takes a couple of minutes for the app to finish processing some data. After that time I want to put application's window above all other windows on the desktop.

I am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.

View 4 RepliesSo I have this code to make a "windows taskbar". When you click on an item, it's supposed to bring that window to the front. The only problem is that's not happening. When I use Debug.WriteLine, it has the right window title, except it doesn't come to the front. What's wrong? There is no EntryPointNotFoundException or anything, it just doesn't bring the window to the front.

I have a window which should stay on top of Power point slide shows. So it should be on top of all the windows. I did this easily using VB 6 using Lib "user32", but it seems to be difficut with VB.net.
Me.TopMost = True
This does not seem to work as it works only within the program.
Private Declare Function BringWindowToTop Lib "user32" Alias "BringWindowToTop" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Sub frmTmr_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated

What code in VB.net 2010 do I need to set a window to come to the front of the screen. What I am trying to achieve is to display an urgent alert type, its a form, for certain reasons I am not using message box.

Private Sub frmMessage_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.BringToFront()
End Sub

View 2 RepliesI have an application of which only 1 instance can run at the same time. Thus in the StartUp event I check for this to be true, and if not close the new instance started. At the same time though I'd like the application to switch automatically to the instance already running. By finding the processid of that instance and using appactivate this is working properly, except when the instance already running is minimized. It then switches to it, but since the instance is minimized, its ide will not show.
I need to use something like sendmessage, but am not able to find how.
-Since I already have the processid, could someone tell me how to use code to maximize and bring to the front the ide of another currenly minimized application?
I want to do a check to see if a item is in front if not then do MyItem.BringToFront else MyItem.SendToBack

View 3 Repliesim looking for a way to bring a form into second "z" position. wow this question is hard to ask. in other words i have two windows one that is a main editing window and a second one that is behind that one. the reason for this is that the first is partially clear with extended windows aero glass and the window behind offers a purely for design aspect to it. the probem is that when you have multiple windows open such as a webbrowser and my program (for you multitaskers) when the webbrowser window comes to focus as the top window then you click on my window and it becomes top window the webbrowser is now stuck in between my windows. so is there a code to make all other windows on you desktop be sent to the back except for a certin one. or a code to bring a window to the second "z" possition as in not the front but back one?
