Re: Anyway to handle Today event...?

Hi,

Thanks for reply...
No, BringToFront() doesn't work if user has clicked "TODAY" menu....

Try this one.

Class A : Form {
.....
....
void btnCreateBForm_Click() {
B b = new B();
b.ShowDialog();
this.BringToFront(); // Actually, it doesn't make difference in this
issue.
}
....
...
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new A());
}
}

Class B : Form {
}


When you run this app, A will be shown. If you invoke btnCreateBForm_click
method by clicking the button, B will created and shown on top of form A.
At this point, On the Form B, click Start->Today, and then every form will
be minimized........if you lunch this app again, Form B will be shown. When
you close the Form B, Form A will not be shown.

Thanks.
