Default Keep Userform on Top

Hi,
Did you get a solution for the user form to be always on top?
I have the same issue with PPT and I do not find how to fix that.
Thx
Didjee

Set the form's 'ShowModal' property to 'True'. This will keep the form in front, and prevent switching to another document until the form has been closed (or hidden).

Default Very bad solution that you suggest...

Hi
Sorry but that solution is quite bad !
I need to get the form ALWAYS on top and to keep access to the PPT windows at the same time !
It works well with Office 2007 but not with Office 2013 besause of the SDI system.
Thanks anyway.
Didjee

The solution you say is 'quite bad' is a solution. You cannot prevent a modeless userform from disappearing behind another object if you do something that causes the other object to come to the top. If you want to keep a modeless userform on top, it is up to you to take care to not hide it.

Default Yes there is a way....

I created a solution that makes the userform in powerpoint always on top !
Yes and it works well even as a .ppam in office 2013 !

Thanks to Jan Karel and Dennis that put me on the way...

But it's true that I'm really proud of my improved code.

Regards

I'm glad you have a solution. Your pride will undoubtedly serve you well... Now all you need to do is to learn to not hijack threads in the Word forum for PowerPoint questions.
