Hi guys ,
I have a modeless application where i have a tree view in a form . On clicking on the tree node i make a non - modal form to open up. The problem is that ,the form pops-up but this form doesnt get the focus untill i manually click on the form . I have already tried the Focus(), Activate(). I use Show(Parent) method tho make the dialog non-modal.
Please help.
regards Saurabh.

Please Guys comment

Here is the code demo fragment now when i click on the button the form gets focus and is activated just fine . But when i click on the node of the tree view no focus is obtained on the form that opens up.

Static Class

public static class Class1
    {
       public static void InvokeDialog(Form1 f1)
       {
           Form2 f = new Form2();
           f.Show(f1);
           f.Activate();
           f.Focus();
       }
    }

Form1 Code

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void treeView1_NodeMouseClick(object sender, TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs e)
        {
            Class1.InvokeDialog(this);
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Class1.InvokeDialog(this);
        }
        private void treeView1_NodeMouseDoubleClick(object sender, TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs e)
        {
           // Class1.InvokeDialog(this);
        }
