I have not yet found the best solution for this. I have a non modal dialog that can be opened in unlimited instances by a hotkey in the application. Even the dialog itself can open a new instance. I want those dialogs to always be front of the main application window. I have tried a couple of things.

  • Set FormStyle to fsStayOntop. This works but have the advantage that the dialog will be front of ALL windows even other applications. I only want it to be front of my main window.
  • Set PopupMode to pmAuto. This also works except for the case when one dialog open another dialog. If the first dialog is closed then it automatically close the second one. This is not acceptable.
  • Use the default properties for a form. As soon as the main window is clicked on the opened dialogs is behind the main window.

Any other suggestions 🙂

    From TCustomForm.PopupParent Property;

    If the PopupMode property is set to
    pmExplicit and PopupParent is nil,
    then the Application.MainForm is
    implicitly used as the PopupParent
