API Programming Series #3 - Bring a Window to Top

Introduction

This is the third in the series of articles dealing with API Programming in Visual Basic. In the previous two articles we looked at the concept of API and how to use it from Visual Basic. We also looked at a simple example to get a hang of actually using it from within VB. In this article we will look at a more concrete (though still at beginner level) example of using the API from within VB, namely bringing a form to top.
