[Mono-winforms-list] Starting Form on top of Child Form Issue - Mono 2.4.2.3 with SUSE 11

Thu Nov 26 08:41:55 EST 2009

Hi All,

As Jonathan mentioned, we downloaded Mono 2.6, including the latest
MonoDevelop from the site link provided.

Unfortunately, it has not solved our problem of the Starting Form getting
stuck on top randomly.  I really wished it was not random...

We are compiling our program code in OpenSUSE 11.1 with Mono and
MonoDevelop.  Should we compile it another way?

Maybe the "ShowDialog() method" is not working for us in Mono, is there an
alternative method that would achieve the same results and is known to work
in Mono?

Thank you for all your replies so far.

Cheers,
Steve
