This would work, but one would have to detect when the first form got the focus.
We can see how to SET_FOCUS. We can see how to discover if the form has moved. But we cannot find a way to capture the GET_FOCUS event. And there is no property for IN_FOCUS to test in a timer.

PROPERTY 'Form1|ComponentID' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' then PROPERTY 'Form2|CompentID' SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' then switch back to form 1. Me thinks that would bring both forms to the top.

If one StayOnTof form launces another, neither form will consistently remain on top.

We cover part of both forms with another program. We touch the first form. It comes to the top, but the second is still partially hidden. We want the second form to come to the top also. Any ideas?
