Hi I have a problem with showing delphi forms on the desktop. What I want to do is open forms in the background (minimized), but still keep the foreground form the user is using, focused. Problem is, even when the forms I open are minimized (I'm using the new forms .show method to do this by the way), they still take the focus away from the current foreground form. Any idea how to open a form without giving it focus? By the way, I realise that I could probably switch back to my foreground form after the background form has opened, but this is a bit too messy for my liking, as I think the potiental is there for the user to type something on the background form instead of the foreground form during the switch (the nature of my app means that a background form can open at any time). Thanks in advance
