Not really. What you could try doing, however, is have the form intercept the WM_SETFOCUS and WM_KILLFOCUS messages. When the form receives a request to set focus, have it check if any other windows are currently visible, and if so then deny the request. Likewise, if there are no windows currently available, a request to remove the focu could be denied as well. Gambit
