If you're using this class module, there's an AlwaysOnTop property (or
similar) you can set.

Definitely.
Back when VB originally switched from their old help to html help, being the
guru that I am, I copied some snippets from a magazine and wrote my own.
After many years of patching, copy 'n pasting, swearing, and often coding
myself into a hole.
I stepped back and thought I might take a look around to see what the others
were doing...
The only problem was, it took me awhile to clean out all that copyright
stuff, change comments, rename variables, move things around, etc until it
looked like something I wrote. <g>

Credit should be given where credit is due. If someone did that to my hard
work, I would be a little nonplussed about it.

imo, that only applies to code that you're going to publish. My "copy" of
that class is stripped of all code that I don't personally use and the stuff
I do use has been modified to my "standards" (which is almost identical to
the published hungarian rules) CodeSMART has something called a 'Naming
Standards Manager' that will flag stuff that doesn't conform to your
company's standards... so, I use that and fix it until it stops complaining
<g> I don't intend to publish the results (or give a copy to anyone) and
claim them as my own.... or suggest people use my copy instead of the HTML
Help Center's copy. I admit that it's a bit of a "grey area" but.... who
writes code anymore? <g> Most apps are compiled from snips you get here,
there and everywhere.

"snips" from "here, there and everywhere" I agree would just be
incorporated. Larger chunks of code that come with copyright notes at the
very least need to keep the original copyright with additional comments that
the code has been modified or "adapted from" or something along those lines.
Even if you don't intend to distribute source in any form now who knows what
may happen down the line. It'd be way too easy to pull part or all of the
code out and used later as an example.

Hey, I was only joking to illustrate my jealousy as mine tended to fail and
his didn't. Also it is close to 70k, with a couple hundred defined constants
and enums - anyone that would set down and change them all would have a real
case of the green eye.
In fact I have always used that particular class essentially intact - just
as it comes, the only change to my copy is Rational Rose tags - that makes
the code essentially unreadable anyway. (I did remove the Declare
Statements - but that is because the Voices wouldn't stop until I did.)
Besides why fool with it, it works, and I had already put all of my time on
a chm helper that I wanted to.
