I am creating an windows application using vb.net 2005, and I have a parent form which I want to be able to load various child forms onto depending on which one the user selects. I have the form created and the child forms created and they display on the parent form. I am running into an issue trying to bring those forms to focus when they are selected. They currently appear behind what is being displayed on the parent form. Is there a way to get the information to be the main focus.

There might be an easier way, but I got it to work by adding the child form to a panel's collection instead of the parent form itself. You can then use Panel.BringToFront(). However, it's never really been an issue because any time I have used a child form in this manner, its not intended to cover up any other controls.
