Show a form without taking focus

Question

I'm trying to make a form that will be on top of all the windows and also when it shows it self it won't take focus from other windows.

I did that the form will be ontop of the windows:

this.TopMost = true;

But I can't figure out how to prevent the form from taking focus while displayed.

@Nemanja Boric It's still taking focus.. – ad da Sep 21 '13 at 15:34 — ad da, Sep 21 '13 at 15:34

If we are talking about wfp, try setting the property ShowActivated="False"

One way is to use Focus() or your parent form.

//create a spawn a child form
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Show();

//give your parent form the focus
this.Focus();

This will keep your Form1 on top when the second spawns.
