    Lightbulb VB .NET form focus

    hey guys,

    I'm creating an app in Visual Basic, and at one point I want to display one form on top of another form. But, I don't want the second form, that I display on top, to be able to lose focus.

    I've tried to edit the second form's 'LostFocus' event, but with no success. Therefore, I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me how to accomplish this.


    Thanks in advance,

    - user0182

    Look into 'modal' dialogs.

    I considered modal dialogs, but they don't provide the functionality that I required.

    What functionality do you require, because AFAIK in .NET modal dialogs are just Forms that you make visible by calling Form.ShowDialog(parent) where parent is the form below the modal dialog?

    What functionality is missing? Dialogs inherit the properties of System.Windows.Forms.Form, so they should have all the functionality of a regular form.
