I use a MDI parent form in my project and I havesome other form (child form)thats open in MDI form.

I must use some object in (MDI) parent form but when I set an object in this form (for example a button or textbox)other form go to the back of this object , How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.

Perhaps you could make use of SendToBack() and BringToFront() methods for the controls that you want to set on the form.

Try that and see if it worked.

hi,

i don't think this is a problem , its expected behaviour when you work with a child the other child suppose to lose focus

hope this helps

Instead of using MDI Child and MDI Parent,you can say

this.Owner=mdiForm;//setting the owner to the mdiForm,meaning that the current form //is OWNED by the MDI.This results in the current form not being sent to back when the mdi is set focus.IT behaves like the FindAndReplace Dialog in VS.Net.Hope this helps
