bring form back to top

[djam]

I have a main form with a save button, when the save button is pressed a MessageBox asks if they would like to save or not. When I select Yes or No I can't seem to get the main form to the top again. If I have other windows opened the main form is put in the background. I've tried this.Focus(), this.BringToFront()


private void btn_Save_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DialogResult result;
result = MessageBox.Show("Save changes?", "Save changes", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1, MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly);

// update text fields with currentRow data
if(result == DialogResult.Yes)
{
//<does the saving>
}
this.Focus();
}

Hey, I haven't tried, but you may look into zorder...or possibly hwnd, though there may be easier ways to do it.

Good luck,

you could try making the MessageBox modal to the form using MessageBox.Show(this, "..."...)

finally got it... i used activate() before or after the messagebox and it keeps the form on top.
