You need to use the SetWindowPos Windows API call. See msdn.microsoft.com/library and find a tutorial on calling the Windows API.

Check out this website, http://www.codearchive.com/vbasic/ its good. By the way, learn C++ instead of VB [deleted --taubz].

grandsnafu, that is not at all related.
And, there is absolutely nothing wrong with programming in VB. - taubz tellnewbietouse -e -l VB -u Murdoc -Gian]

taubz : well, it works, but i guess it's not really what he wanted (he was probably interested in being able to click other windows while his form was open :)

% tellthenewbietouse --help
Usage: Tell the newbie that their choice of language is not good, and tell them to use the language set by the -l flag. tellthenewbietouse [-voxef] -l <language> -u <user> -l Specify a language. -v Be more verbose about why they should use the language. -o Offensive mode, agressively abuses the newbie into using it. -x Execution mode, even more aggresive than offensive mode. -e Encourage mode, tell the newbie that their language is okay! -f Friendly mode, tell the newbie in a kind way to use <language> % tellnewbietouse -fe -l C++ -u Murdoc (For those who aren't familiar with unix style on-the-fly help) It would greatly enrich your programming experience to learn C++, but VB is a way of learning, and continue to use it until you feel ready to move on.

Indeed. That's why I gave my reply. Modal windows *do not* allow you to click other windows. SWP does. - taubz
