Can you post some code that shows how you instantiate and open this bothersome form? I'm not able to reproduce the problem, so I'm missing something ...

>I have an MDI application. One of the forms in the app has a subform that is set as topmost. Everything works until another application is started when this subform is active. In that case, the subform continues to hover above everything! Not desirable behavior... Is there any simple key someone can give me to let the app know that it is no longer the top most application and cosequently hide this bothersome subform. Thanks.
