Form Focus Issue

[DarkConsultant]

Hi All,

FormA is my main form and is always open.
FormB is a non-modal info form and is open or closed

If FormA opens modal FormC then FormC gets focus.

I have added some code into the Load event of FormC that checks to see if FormB is open (tracking boolean variable) and if it is then FormB is minimised. Now unless I click on FormC I cannot get it to have focus.

I first thought that I needed an event to fire the minimise of FormB but this made no difference so then I used
FormB.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimised
in the load event and this made no difference.

All of the above work inasmuch as they minimise FormB but nothing will set focus on FormC including a timer on FormC whose Tick event called .Focus. Nothing.

Any ideas please?

TIA

David

Can you show us the code from FormA that minimizes FormB and loads FormC modally?
