hey,

there are serveral forms in my project. I want to have one to be a
control form that is always on top. I tried it with the winapi

Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (By.....

The result is : the form is loaded but hidden

who can help

        SplashForm.Show

And then in the load event of the form, I then make it on top -

        SetWindowPos SplashForm.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE +
SWP_NOSIZE

The constants if you require -

    Private Const HWND_BOTTOM = 1
    Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
    Private Const HWND_TOP = 0
    Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
    Private Const SWP_DRAWFRAME = &H20
    Private Const SWP_HIDEWINDOW = &H80
    Private Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
    Private Const SWP_NOCOPYBITS = &H100
    Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
    Private Const SWP_NOREDRAW = &H8
    Private Const SWP_NOREPOSITION = &H200
    Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
    Private Const SWP_NOZORDER = &H4
    Private Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40

Seems to work.
