SetWindowPos(Form2->Handle,
                 HWND_TOPMOST,
                 Form2->Left,  // horizontal position
                 Form2->Top,   // vertical position   SWP_NOREDRAW |
                 Form2->Width, // width
                 Form2->Height,    // height
                 SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE
                 );

Kind regards
