TopMost and inputbox

Hi lets say i have a big form that i set it to be TopMost=true.
Now i want to call inputbox after a click on a button on my form.
the inputbox will not be shown cuz the form is on top of it.
How can i make the inputbox to be top most as well so i will be able to see it over the main form?
Thanks :wave:

A quick fix would be to send your form to the back temporarily, have a look at this :

Code:

---

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.SendToBack()
        Dim StrInput As String = InputBox("Enter Your Name", "Enter Name")
        Me.Text = StrInput
    End Sub

---

Once run, the form will move to the back, and the Inputbox will move to the front. Just remember to bring your form to the front again, once your finsihed :) You can use Me.TopMost = True

Thanks HanneSThEGreaT,
but this solution will not work for me.
My project is build this way:
Form (Top Most)
ChildForm(Top Most)
UserControl ActiveX in the Child form that call the inputbox.

I try and it still been hidden under the forms.
I guess i will have to create my own inputbox and set it TopMost flag to the parent TopMost flag.
I just hoped that there is a simple way to do that and to avoid the "longer" way.

was quite important information to include with your first post, agree ¿

Right!
Sorry.

You can actually set The TopLevel Properties of the Forms to False before showing the InputBox and then again change that to True after the inputbox is closed.

The better way would be to have your own Form as InputBox.

Did you try the "similar" solutions as suggested in the post#2 and post#6?
