MDI child form Problem

Hi!
I am using c++ builder 5 .
I have a MDI Main Form and 4 MDI child Forms.
The application is about loading data from access database,display data on
TChart , performing operations like print,export etc.
One of the 4 MDI Child forms has TChart.
The other 3 MDI child forms contains controls that act on the TChart like
zoom,etc...
The TChart MDI child form is activated when the application is started.
When I make all the 4 MDI childs visible, I want the 3 MDI child forms to
be on top of TChart MDIChildForm.
Swithching to the TChart MDIChildForm from any of the 3 MDI child forms
should not bring the TChart MDIChildForm to the front.
How can I do this? This case exists in adobe photoshop.
If you open a image in photoshop , you can work on the image without sending
the palette controls to the back.
Regards,
Siraj

You could give those three forms FormStyle fsStayOnTop instead

of fsMDIChild.
Indeed, then those windows are not limited to the fdMDIForm but
maybe that does not matter.
You could try.
