Yes.  I tried a test application that had a single form and it worked but I
can't get it to work if I set the Main Form's Visible property to false.
The application that I'm writing has a feature called "Mini Mode" which
creates another form which is much smaller and I want that form to "Stay On
Top".  Do you know how to do that?

OP code:
Set Main Form's Visible property to False
Instantiate and Display Mini Mode Form and set it to be always on top
