>From my understanding BringWindowToTop is for Windows not objects on a window. I did a quick search on MSDN and it seems to indicate this too. If I'm mistaken, please let me know.
In view of that, I wonder if BringWindowToTop is really doing anything, perhaps it's just the Show and Hide behavior that you are dealing with. I'll look through MSDN a little bit more and see if there is anything there that can shed some light. Of course, if someone already knows the answer they can save me some time. ;-) jb --- "Piske, Harald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I know I'm getting naggy with things that no one > ever comes across.
