Making a form topmost in existing VB3 app
Hello from a newcomer. I have resurrected an application written in VB3, in 1995, that behaves oddly in the Win95/98 environment. The app places a small form topmost (visible) when a timer calls it, regardless of the running applications, then hides the form after a preset time. It worked great with all 16-bit apps in Win 3.x, but in 95/98 with newer apps (e.g. Word 97, Excel, etc.), Form2.Show won't bring my form to the front. When all windows are minimized (only the desktop and wallpaper showing), it works fine. I would prefer to avoid rewriting it in VB5 or 6. Is there a VB3 method that will make my 16-bit app come to the front? I've looked at ZOrder, but without success. This seems so simple...
Thanks in advance for any help.
David
