When I run my VB.NET Winforms app I do not want it to steal

  • 0

When I run my VB.NET Winforms app I do not want it to steal the focus from the other open apps. FYI, my app is started from the command line but that shouldn’t make a difference. I’ve seen question 577076 but that doesn’t seem to work.

What is the best way to do this?

    Here is what I did to get this working:

    I added the following code to my Form1.vb file:

    Protected Overloads Overrides ReadOnly Property ShowWithoutActivation() As Boolean       Get           Return True       End Get   End Property 

    But still no success.

    Then I unchecked the Enable Application Framework checkbox on the Application tab of the project properties.

    Success!!!
