Hello,

When the UAC message is displayed in Windows Vista, 7 or 8 the background becomes inaccessible until the user selects from the message dialog. Ca

You are looking for ShowDialog(). This means it will bring the control in front of others and here's a quick example.

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim nform As New Form
    nform.Text = "Test Form"
    nform.ShowDialog()
End Sub

If you use BringToFront() method all this will do is bring it to front in the z-order. Same with TopMost(), but the only difference in TopMost() is that window will always be at top.
