ShowDialog and Z Order - DockableWindow/TabStripPanel for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by kh - United Kingdom

Hi. This isn't necessarily a dockable window problem, but I have only experienced it in my current project which includes this component, although I am also with a new client on a new PC, etc. My main form (which includes the DWManager) opens another form using ShowDialog. Sometimes the dialog opens behind the main form. Is this an issue anyone knows about? Any fixes?

Thanks

kh

Hmmm... I haven't seen that happen. I know there is a Microsoft .NET framework bug where child forms that are closed (which were opened with ShowDialog) sometimes flip the parent form to the background so that open open windows hide it.
