OK that works, but is it possible to focus in taskbar stays on Form1 while Form2 is active and not on Form2 (when is visible), becuse Form2 is not shown in taskbar and belongs to Form1 Apps. Right now it seems like Form2 is another applications window but not visible in taskbar.<br />

<div>
You might try a Form2_LostFocus event to set Form1's focus<br />
<br />
Private Sub Form2_LostFocus()<br />
&nbsp; Form2.hide 'or unload Form2<br />
&nbsp; Form1.SetFocus<br />
End sub<br />
<br />

Hello.<br />
<br />
I have two forms: <br />
Form1.borderstyle=FixedSin<wbr />gle<br />
Form2.borderstyle=FixedSin<wbr />gle<br />
Form2.ShowInTaskbar=False<br />
<br />
form1 (main form) and form2 (settings form). When user click on form1.command1, then must show settings form. My problem is when I click on form1.command1 then:<br />
Form2.Visible = True<br />
Form1.Enabled = False &nbsp;<br />
<br />
and then Form1 lost his focus from taskbar, so when I click on taskbar (form1) form2 hides (lost focus) behind disabled Form1, and only can be seen when I maximize and minimize some other apps window. <br />
So I need a way to show Form2 and to keep Forms1 focus in taskbar, but Form1.Enabled must be FALSE<br />
<br />
I tried with Form1_Activate(), Form1_GotFocus(), Form2_LostFocus() and nothing...<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Forms problem

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
