Title Body

So, I did search google and SO prior to asking this question. Basically I have a DLL that has a form compiled into it. The form will be used to display information to the screen. Eventually it will be asynchronous and expose a lot of customization in the dll. For now I just want it to display properly. The problem that I am having is that I use the dll by loading it in a Powershell session. So when I try to display the form and get it to come to the top and have focus, It has no problem with displaying over all the other apps, but I can't for the life of me get it to display over the Powershell window. Here is the code that I am currently using to try and get it to display. I am sure that the majority of it won't be required once I figure it out, this just represents all the things that I found via google. CLass Blah { [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SystemParametersInfo")] public static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(uint uiAction, uint uiParam, uint pvParam, uint fWinIni); [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetForegroundWindow")] public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "ShowWindowAsync")] private static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int cmdShow); private const int WS_SHOWNORMAL = 1; public void ShowMessage(string msg) { MessageForm msgFrm = new MessageForm(); msgFrm.lblMessage.Text = "FOO"; msgFrm.ShowDialog(); msgFrm.BringToFront(); msgFrm.TopMost = true; msgFrm.Activate(); SystemParametersInfo((uint)0x2001, 0, 0, 0x0002 | 0x0001); ShowWindowAsync(msgFrm.Handle, WS_SHOWNORMAL); SetForegroundWindow(msgFrm.Handle); SystemParametersInfo((uint)0x2001, 200000, 200000, 0x0002 | 0x0001); } } As I say I'm sure that most of that is either not needed or even flat out
