Q: 

BringToFront() does not work

I have a winform project with a splash form (as described in the first answer of this question : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/510765/c-winforms-startup-splash-form-not-hiding).

When I use this splashform the mainform loose the focus. I want to bring it to the front as soon as I close the splashform with Form.BringToFront() but it does'nt work.

Anybody can help?

+2  A: 

Raymond Chen just addressed this issue with Win32 programs in his blog today.

Basically, you need to show your main form and call BringToFront on it before closing your splashscreen.
