Modal Dialog Loosing focus

[rikkemus]

Hi i made a Modal DIalog Box( showdialog() ) Its on top and everything, but the application who calls it( another enviroment ) steals back the focus, but with my modal dialog box on top still. This annoys me! meaning i cannot just press enter to move along, but need to get focus back to my dialog form, before i press enter. How can i make sure that it(dialogbox) always have focus over other applications, that nothing takes it away. is there some windows api i can call or something, i have been looking but with no luck. Thx in advance

Well, you can try setting Form.TopMost[^] to true. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

I have tried that, bu the application that called my Dialog window snatched focus back, and was hiding behind my dialog. But i found a working solution through the User32.dll call. [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError=true)] static extern void SwitchToThisWindow(IntPtr hWnd, bool fAltTab); SwitchToThisWindow(this.Handle, false); It activates my window/dialog. Thx though for the answer :-)
