Activated Event in TopLevel=False forms

[enningo]

I'm having problem to get the Form.Activated (and .Deactivated for that matter) events to trigger for a Form with Form.TopLevel=F alse.

The reason why the form is TopLevel=False is because I need to put it in a tabcontrol.

Is there any other ways to detect when the Form is entered/activated?

Detect when the tabpage it is in becomes active?
Thats what I do

Plater, thanks for the advice. Problem is that I have multiple Forms per tab. (The tabs are basically worksheets where the user can arrange a multitude of different forms per their preference).

Would be possible with some mouse tracking magic to figure out with Form that is active?

I was able to use the enter/leave events on the form to deal with that.
the "enter" even was fired whenever focus shifted from a different form to any control on the current form(that accepts focus, clicking on a label for instance, no good) and the elave event fired whenever i went to a control on a different form
