I've been writing a program that needs to always be the window showing on
the screen. I set the FormStyle property of the form to fsStayOnTop and
what I'm wondering is why is it that this switches periodically so that
other windows can be seen ontop of this form? I'm using delphi 2.0 and if
anyone could help it'd be appreciated.

The fsStayOnTop property is only valid for windows that dont have
this property set, if you have two or more windows with fsStayOnTop
then they act just like normal windows allowing you to switch between
them changing which one is ontop.You can set a window by doing
(I think it is) SystemModal check it out in the help file, this will
allow only this window to be ontop and recieve focus.
