I have two floating tool windows. Let's call them A and B. B is covering up A. A wants to display a message in its control and bought to the user's attention. If I call, Activate(false) on A, nothing really seems to happen. If I just call Activate(), A is moved to the top and gets focus. I would like to move A above B and keep focus on whatever control in the rest of the app had focus. Any suggestions?
Hi Tom,
I wonder if you could do ToolWindow.FindForm() to get the Form that is hosting the floating tool window. You can't really call Activate() on that since I believe that will focus the Form's content too. But you might be able to use the Windows API's SetWindowPos with SWP_NOACTIVATE as described in this thread:

That would likely let you bring the Form to the top without activating it.
