Hello,

If this is the wrong forum, please kindly direct me to the proper one.

How can I bring a MDIChild window to the top?  I have a tool bar which when 
a relative button is clicked it creates the form and then uses the Show 
event.  I would like to bring the form the the top if the button is clicked 
again.  When I use the BringToFront method I get an abstract error.

Project MyApp raised exception class EAbstractError with message 'Abstract 
Error'.
Process stopped.  Use Step or Run to continue.

[Code]
var
  frmNHList: TfrmNHList;
begin
  { create a new MDI child window if not already }
  if not IsMDIChildOpen(MainForm, 'frmNHList') then
    begin
      frmNHList := TfrmNHList.Create(Application);
      frmNHList.Show;
    end;
    frmNHList.BringToFront;  // if already created and showing, bring to 
front
[/Code]

You help is appreciated.
