Hello John,
Have a look at this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/windowspy.asp?df=100&forumid=152014&exp=0&s
elect=1363031
What you need is a
SetWindowPos WinApi call with WS_EX_TOPMOST parameter. You can find more
info on google using
SetWindowPos WS_EX_TOPMOST
as search criteria...

John,
IOW you wanted to have a message box/form "flying" on top of all the other
windows but not blocking nor your VB.NET application nor other processes?

Shamil,
Nope, I didn't try that. It doesn't sound like something I want to do
either.

John,
Did you try to use
MsgBoxStyle.SystemModal ? (Be careful it stops all the running processes as
it's written in docs):
Dim msg As String
Dim title As String
Dim style As MsgBoxStyle
Dim response As MsgBoxResult
msg = "Do you want to continue?" ' Define message.
style = MsgBoxStyle.DefaultButton2 Or _
MsgBoxStyle.Critical Or _
MsgBoxStyle.YesNo Or _
MsgBoxStyle.SystemModal
title = "MsgBox Demonstration" ' Define title.
' Display message.
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
If response = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then ' User chose Yes.
' Perform some action.
Else
' Perform some other action.
End If

Subject: [AccessD] VB.Net - seeing the messagebox
When I run my program, the form immediately pops up, I click a button and
the program starts processing files. I added a messagebox.show to inform me
when each file finishes (I was timing with a stopwatch) but that message box
does not pop up over the top of everything else. The program has stopped
and the message is up, but behind everything else and I do not see it unless
I click the form icon in the tool bar. It doesn't even cause the tool bar
icon for the form to change color or flash.
Is there a way to make it do so (somehow notify me)?
