TopMost Form within a .net application

Hi,
How can I have a form that is TopMost only within the application it
belongs to?

1.I can't use ShowDialog, as it would be modal and I want the user to
be able to interact with controls in the main form.

2.TopMost property makes it being above ALL windows, including those
that do not belong to the application. I don't want that to happen.

Can you help?
Thanks

Hi Herfried
Great ! I've removed TopMost = True, and Iadded f.Owner = main form
and it works just as I wanted.

Many Thanks !
