Lots of topmost forms in one application
hi iv had a bug 4 a while now that i cant seam to squish
i want more than one form per application to stay topmost but i can only get 1 form at any one time topmost any ideas...
each child form calls when its deactivated
SetWindowPos(Application.H
SWP_NOACTIVATE or SWP_HIDEWINDOW or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_NOMOVE);
the only problem is only the first form that was created retains topmost
must be something very simple! lol

What do you mean with "each child form calls when its deactivated"?
Form is deactivated when another form in same application receives focus. If the whole app is deactivated, it doesn't mean that form is deactivated. From Delphi help:
"Use OnDeactivate to perform special processing when the form transitions from being the active form to another form in the same application becoming the active form. If activation goes to another application, this event is not triggered. To determine if another application has become active, Use the TApplication object’s OnDeactivate event."
Maybe you should process application's onDeactivate event, not forms'?
