How do a make one form stay on top of another?

Question

I have found the Form.TopMost property but it puts the form on top of everything, including stuff that isn't part of my app. I've got a suspicion that I'm missing something obvious here. (Is Form the proper bases class for a non modal dialog box?)

Answer 1

Use the Form.Owner property of your dialog form and set it to the main Form.

The Owned form will never be displayed behind the Owner Form.

Answer 2

It is very simple; You just have to pass the owner when you call the Show() method

YourForm.Show(parentForm);
