I have a MDI application.
On Parent Form, i put a textbox and button.
And then i show child form like this code:
frmChild.TopMost = true;
frmChild.show();

The problem is, the textbox and button is still stay on the top when i show child form.
How to fix, so that the child form (frmChild) is the top most of other control in parent form? thanks

Give this a try:

In the code that invokes the second (child form), probably a button click event code method. If that button is called btnLoadChild, then:

private void btnLoadChild_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   frmChild frm = new frmChild();
   frm.ShowDialog();
}

Since you've set up the parent as an MDI client, the child form appears on top of the MDI parent form. (I like to set the parent's WindowSize property to Maximum.) You can have a Close button on the child form that calls Close() to unload the form when you're done and control returns to the parent.

See page 393 of my book for additional details if you need them.
