Have you tried AlwaysOnTop = .f.?

>Thanks for the input so far. But I think I did not word my question clearly enough. I actually do want to display the form and I do want to place controls on the form but I don't want the form to take focus away from the currently active form.

>In short I want a form with the behaviour of a toolbar (when you place a control on a toolbar clicking a toolbar control does not cause the Valid() of the current control to fire) but with the visible flexibility of a form (oe, borderless, always on top, in desktop, etc...) I have been shown how to strip the borders from a toolbar and that is fine but (as far as I can tell) the toolbar cannot be created in the desktop or placed on top.

>So yes I do want a form that is displayed but does not steal focus, so that I can create something similar to a popup menu using a VFP form rather than the popup control.
