Alex, I think that sending the main window to the back would work, but it would cause more problems than it would solve.
My application is a single page application that uses about a dozen main windows in which the end user can get work done. There can be multiple instances of most of these windows and they all can be resized, maximized and minimized - and invoked from different places. For instance, the dialog window can be brought up from the main screen, the view window, or the manage dialogs window. So, keeping up with which windows should be on top and behind can get complicated quickly. I don't know the solution to this, but it seems that it is not trivial. In fact, if I could magically wish and it would come true, I don't even know what I would wish for. tom Alexander Back wrote: > > Hi Tom, > > just to give it a try ... don't know if it's working out for you.
