Greetings,
Seen this done before - here's some code I just tried that worked:
'Paste me into the Form in the Declarations
Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Private Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Private Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Private Const FLAGS = SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, _
ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, _
ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
'Form load is the likely place to call this, but it could be done anywhere..
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call SetWindowPos(Me.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, FLAGS)
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------
Just in case someone asks about doing this with a user form in VBA. this
links to an example in the script library - its moderately more difficult to
do in the VBA environment because you don't have me.Hwnd like you do in a VB
form.

Subject: [Talk] findwindow and setparent functions
Does anyone have any experience using the findwindow and setparent functions
in VB6?
I have a modeless user form. I want the form to float on top of a web
application. The functionality I want is similar to the 'solution explorer'
or 'properties' windows in visual studio. The form will always stay on top
of just the parent. Any help is appreciated.
