How can i make a program stay above the task bar even when it loses focus with visual basic 2008?

+4  A: 

if needed in any case, one can set the TopMost property of the form to true. please think about not annoying your users :-)

Form in front of taskbar.

I don't think that will help.

just tried it out successfully in c# 2.0/vs2008/vista.

+1 for providing an answer (if even with the remark)

the task bar still covers it when you defocus it

as i said, works on .net with c# 2.0/vs2008/vista... i may help with other configuration, but first, you have to tell me :-)
henchman
I mean, it puts it ontop of other things, but not things that have topmost set to true as well
Jcubed
correct. thats intended :-) there is no top-topmost, sorry :-)the focused topmost-window is always in front of other non-focused topmost-windows. so the only thing you could do is focus your window, when it's being unfocused - but i would not recommend such a blatant behavior.
