OK, this is whats happening: I am adding a ScrollBar window control thru API to a form. I do a bindevent to the WM_HSCROLL message that is sent by the scrollbar window to its parent window (the form)

The problem is that if the form is not the active form and you click on the scrollbar, the scrollbar works but the form does not become active. So in the method binded to the WM_HSCROLL message I want to make the form active, that means make it the top form and the one with the keyboard focus.

Now, there it is, clear as mud. :)
