Type mismatch error when using show method on MDI Child with borderstyle=4 (fixed toolwindow)

Sven De Bon #1 / 4	Type mismatch error when using show method on MDI Child with borderstyle=4 (fixed toolwindow) Hi all, When I try to show an MDI-Child form with (using the show method) that has a borderstyle property of 4 (Fixed Toolwindow), I get a Type Mismatch Error (13). I can't find anything on MSDN that tells me if this is not supported. The idea is to create a floating window (like a floating toolbar) that stays always on top (using SetWindowPos). The form should only have a close button and it must be contained in the MDIForm (actually, it would be even better if I could contain this form in a MDIChild form). Any ideas?

Ken Halte #4 / 4	Type mismatch error when using show method on MDI Child with borderstyle=4 (fixed toolwindow) Can't reproduce the problem.. you're sure that Show is the problem? or is there code in that child form causing the type mismatch. Do you have SP5 installed? -- Ken Halter MS-MVP-VB Please keep it in the groups..
