Also.. I don't want the window to be always on top. &nbsp;I have tried making it topmost (HWND_TOPMOST), and then making it not topmost, and that does make it ontop, but it still wasn't the focused window.

Anyone else have any ideas what would cause those commands to not be affective? &nbsp;They will bring the form above other forms in my program, but not above the window I need it to be above. &nbsp;No, the window is not always ontop.<br />

Thanks,<br />

Im having an odd problem here. &nbsp;My program subclasses another program so that I can add menu items to it, and interact with my program through the 3rd party programs menu.<br />
<br />
The problem I am having is, when I click the menu item on the 3rd party program that shows my program's form, my form does not always become the active form (not focused, and not ontop).<br />
<br />
I have tried, setforegroundwindow, setfocus, bringwindowtotop, setwindowpos, changing the zorder to 0, and a few other things, but I simply can't get it to consistantly be focused and ontop. &nbsp;Im not sure if I am calling it at the wrong time, or what I am doing wrong.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />

Making my window focused and ontop

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.
