Force VB Application to bottom....???

Anyway to make a VB app sit on the bottom. For example if I clicked on it, it wouldn't overlap my other open program.

I want to do this because it shows information about a program that hovers over it... (winamp) ... but when i click on it on accident, I don't want it to show over winamp, I'd like winamp to stay ontop.

anyway to do that?

Sounds like a cool program. I understand, your program knows where winamp is located. You could make a big transparent hole where winamp is located, so it is on top, but still shows winamp.

Good luck

But then you'd have to forward clicks on your program to Winamp. Starts getting complicated.

A bit of Googling found this:
FormName.ZOrder 1

Stick that in your Form Activation method, and possibly a couple other methods. Obviously, change FormName. Should sort things out.
