Form to the front

[Ravi Lobo]

When my exe loads the main Form, it is hidden behind the open windows. Is there a way to bring the main form to the front?

Depends on how you designed your form and what the other Windows are. Some System Windows will always be on top.

Thank you.
I was expecting something like Form.Top = $true or Form.BringToFront = $true. I'm new. The tool is very new for me. Thank you for the help.

Are we talking about a PowerShell Studio form or a hand built form?

PowerShellStudio form.

By default it will be topmost. If you are trying tolock it at the very front over all forms you will need to make API calls. Not sure if it is passible with PowerShell and a modal dialog.

The best you can do is $form1.Topmost = $true

If you are asking about forms in a multiform project then the answer is no. Modal dialog always display at the top of the stack.

You can use an MDI form to allow multiple forms to be displayed but then you have to hand code the forms.

Okay. That makes sense. Thank you.

I'm having this problem also. My project is a single form project and my form is set to TopMost = True.
The script runs in the background and waits for an event.
The FIRST time it sees that event, the form launches behind other windows that are open.
All SUBSEQUENT events it sees, it launches On Top as expected.
Any ideas?
