Wow guys, this is really messed up.

Once again, a simplification of how I was doing things greatly changes
things!

First of all, I want each and every one of you to reply to this list
and tell me if you EVER use the "ZOrder" property.

Why? Because I'm getting rid of it.

There's really no need for it, honestly.

There are already a few things that should offer the same
functionality and more control, and some I've added...
- BringToFront method
- BringToFrontOnFocus flag (default true) -- NEW
- AlwaysOnTop
- SendToBack

Anyway... My big problem was a really gimpy focus sorter class that
was an interface of "IComparable", which just never worked right, and
gave really stupidly odd results...

So anyway... I'm exhausted right now, but tomorrow I'll have new DLLs
up!

I tried to use ZOrder, but could never get it to do what I wanted.  I really needed "Bring to front on focus" and "always on top", so those will likely help me.  I am the guy that asked about a Modal window a while back (force input to a dialog box, for example).

The "Modal window" thing sounds like something I can do too.

What's amazing about all of this is that I just had this horrible
mental block about how to resolve the focus issue, etc... and finally
that block came tumbling down.
