Greetings.

I have a form that contains a group and that group contains objects. If the form is behind another program, say, Notepad, when I click on the form in anything but the group, it brings the form to the front, but if I click on any part of the group, the form does not come to the front and it stays behind Notepad. I tried doing a quick click event,
Code:

  DetailsGroup.click ~= &DetailsGroup_click;
  protected void DetailsGroup_click(Object sender, EventArgs ea)
  {
    DetailsGroup.bringToFront();
    LSOpenProjs.bringToFront();
  }


but this is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

iose

I'm not sure why exactly, but it might have to do with the win32 window styles or extended window styles, or WM_NCHITTEST.
