The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Always on top" with several forms

Asked by filipecorreia in Delphi Programming

Tags: top, always, form

Hi

I've got 2 forms: Form1 and Form2
when I set Form1's 'FormStyle' property to 'StayOnTop' Form1 stays on top of any other on the DESKTOP
(just like I want it to). However, if I set Form2's FormStyle property to StayOnTop Form2 still stays
(always) hover Form1 but they both stay below any other window (other application) that comes along.

I want the forms to be independent from each other (to set one of them to stay on top of any other
window in the desktop, or to set both of them to stay on top of any other window in the desktop) and
to be selected independently (when I select one of them it should come to the foreground leaving the
other form in the Z order in wich it was).

I got this far:

I've set the 'ParentWindow' property as follows:

parentWindow := getDesktopWindow;
parent := nil;

and this seemed to had worked. The only problem now is that both forms can't seem to get focus.

I'm not sure this is the right approach...

Thanks in advance

Filipe
