Main form with always-on-top flag + dialog
-
Hello! I got a main form, which can set to be always-on-top (this is achieved using the
TopMostproperty of the main form). The problem now is that when opening a modal dialog box, the dialog appears behind the main window. The brute-force solution would be to disable the always-on-top mode while displaying the dialog. A better solution would be to tell the dialog somehow that its parent is the main form and therefore to appear in front of it. I tried setting theOwner,ParentandParentFormproperties of the dialog, but nothing worked (Owner: doesn't do anything, Parent: not allowed for top-level controls, ParentForm: read-only property). Any solution? How can the dialog displayed in front of the main window? Thanks and best regards Dominik

Did you try also enabling the
TopMostproperty of the dialog.
