Embedding and WinForms

Hi guys,

I've been experimenting with embedding mono in our OSX Cocoa based application as a plug-in system. So far everything is working great except for one teeny weeny little thing:)

If my C# code calls

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Hi");

 

a message box is displayed and my other application windows appear to be in a modal state. The problem is that if I click on any other part of my application the messagebox displays behind the window I just clicked (it does not stay on top.)

 

Is there something that I need to do to keep modal windows like messageboxes to stay on top?

 

Thanks,

-Steve

You may need to specify the parent window in the call to messagebox.show

Hi David,

I tried creating a System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow from the Process.CurrentProcess.MainWindowHandle but that didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for the suggestion though.
