New forms are put behind main form
« on: July 18, 2018, 03:29:36 pm »
In Cocoa (possibly also Carbon) new forms seem to be opened behind my main form, so if the user is not aware, he will not noticed the newly opened window (e.g. "about")

Here is my setup. All forms have formstyle fsNormal and I do not use ShowModal... But the code I have should still solve this as far as I know:


Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.                   if (Application.MainForm <> nil) and (Application.MainForm <> AForm) then
  2.                     begin
  3.                       AForm.PopupMode := pmExplicit;
  4.                       AForm.PopupParent := Application.MainForm;
  5.                     end
  6.                   ;
  7.                   AForm.Show;
  8.                 end
  9.  
  10.  

Shouldn't new forms/windows be placed "ontop"?

As a temporary fix I will use ShowModal which is a satisfacory solution for me

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   AForm.Show;
  2.   AForm.BringToFront;
But I am sure they don't want the Trumps back...

I am unable to reproduce the issue with the code snippet provided, need an actual project sample.
