I have another small problem. First, background: VB6, MDI Application.
In the MDI Parent form I have a pane with a shortcut bar on it. The shortcut bar has a form (frmPane). On the form is a treeview. When I click a node on the treeview I want a non-mdichild form to open up. Opening up the form is no problem. The problem is that the form will not stay on top. When it opens, it opens up and then minimizes and focus shifts back to the treeview. I have run the following code:

First I tried:
Load frmIndexMain
frmIndexMain.Show
frmIndexMain.SetFocus

Then I tried:
Load frmIndexMain
frmIndexMain.Show
frmIndexMain.WindowState = vbMaximized

Neither set of code worked.
Surely I am just missing something.

Thanks again for all the previous help.

This kinda works. Although it doesn't set focus to the form, at least the new form is on top so that's fine with me.

Load frmIndexMain
frmIndexMain.Show 0, frmMDIParent
