ProgressForm has no parent window

[LukasT]

Hello...
.... following the http://forum.stimulsoft.com/viewtopic.p ... 7&start=20
Your ProgressForm isn't a part od ReportViewer. It means that in moment when ProgressForm is shown, if I click on viewer on background, ProgressForm goes backwards of the application where is Viewer built-in. I want ProgressForm to be like a part of Viewer and don't have it like a "homeless" message box and don't see it in Task Switcher.
Do you understand of my requirement, please?

Hello,
ok.... ProgressForm has parent now and is not Topmost... that is great - thank you! But when ProgressForm is shown, it calls Activate() of parent Window. It is unpleasant in case of I am switched to another application....

Hello,
I am back with this issue due it is really unpleasant.
Little example:
We have print dialog, where is possible to print some batch of invoices... customer needs to see status of printing, so rendering process must be visible... but user is able to do something else in another application. Unpleasant is when during printing process is Stimulsoft Viewer calling itself Activate method and it is appearing and disappearing as many times as how much report is printing...

... example is attached. Run the example, then push Render button and then immediately switch to another application.

Hello.

It's a usual behavious of the WPF windows.

As a way you could use the RenderWithWpf(false) method. To show progress bar you should handle the Rendering event and show progress in your window.

Thank you.
