Re: FORM ALWAYS TOP

Hi Manixs,
I'm not sure you can achieve what you want.
But perhaps by laying out your forms appropriately, you can (sort of) get the effect by specifying the position of subordinate forms (podesigned property of the subordinate forms) so that the main form is always visible.

Re: FORM ALWAYS TOP

Thanks DEREK!

Very much appreciated your sample and suggestion and I think this will help to others that are looking for this kind of solution. But anyway, a sample or solution that I am looking for is a FORM that always on the top of any active form regardless of the area of position and at same time you can toggle to the active form and vice versa.

Hope you can do it form me!

Thanks A Lot!

Re: FORM ALWAYS TOP

Useful tip, Derek,
Can it  be implemented on main form (Form1) to determine form start-position on screen?
Eg, top 0, left 0 or center position or whole screen (depending on screen-size)?

Hello Zlaya,Hello Derek

As Derek said, you can use property Position from Object Inspector and choose poScreenCenter if you want your form(s) be centeredin the middle of your screen.

Re: FORM ALWAYS TOP

Hello Zlaya, Salut Jean,
Yes, you can position the main form (Form1) anywhere on the screen by using screen.width and screen.height together with the 'podesigned' property of the Form1 object.
In this case, it is then probably better to set the positions of Form2 and Form3 RELATIVE to Form1.
Please see attached example.
Derek.
