These forms are setted to be "topMost" to always stay over the map. The problem is that if user switch to another Windows application on his desktop without minimizing ArcMap first, these forms are still visible and it is certainly not very convenient for the users...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestion on how to force these forms to hide when ArcMap application lose focus?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks a lot</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:55:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/how-to-hide-opened-custom-forms-when-arcmap/m-p/427634#M11552 EtienneDesgagné 2012-10-25T18:55:25Z Re: How to hide opened custom forms when ArcMap application lose focus... https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/how-to-hide-opened-custom-forms-when-arcmap/m-p/427635#M11553 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Take a look at this </SPAN><A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/52107-VB-.NET-Calling-a-Form?highlight=Win32HWNDWrapper" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">thread</A><SPAN>, which gives a couple of examples of some code how to do that.
