Focusing problem on windows form

[Steven]

I have a question about the focusing on windows form control. First of all,
I have a main windows form (MainFrm) for my application, another form
(NewFrm) will be displayed if pressing one of the button on the MainFrm. I
used the NewFrm.Show() method to open the form. However, if I switch the
focus to another applcation (eg. Outlook, IE etc) and then switch back to my
application program. I lost the focus on NewFrm and MainFrm display on top
instead occasionally. I need to use the function key ctrl + tab in order to
get back the focus on NewFrm.

All I want to know is there any method can let my application program always
focus on NewFrm after switching back the focus from other application in
task bar?

Re: Focusing problem on windows form

You could try something like this:

Private Sub Form1_Activated (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Activated

Dim AForm As Form

For Each AForm In Application.Ope nForms
If AForm.GetType Is Form2.GetType Then
AForm.Focus()
Return
End If

Next
End Sub

I can't find the Application.Ope nForms method. In addition, what is Form2?
