This status can be toggled via the 'Boxes on Top' system menu. Placing these VB boxes on top makes it easier to design and draw full screen forms. This program is Freeware.

Installation and Program Requirements: 'Boxes on Top' is written in Visual Basic 3.0 and requires the MSGHOOK.VBX custom control in addition to Visual Basic 3.0.

The original release was designed to only place the VB toolbox on top and had a cosmetic bug that would allow the underlying form to be shown under some circumstances. I would like to hear from anyone who gets any use out of this program, or who encounters any problems or bugs with it, or if there are changes or enhancements you would like to see. Should I get enough feedback on this program, I'll probably make enhancements to it. I am also available for programming projects, training, and consulting in Visual Basic.
