Hi,
I am developing a chat application using jabber-net opensource library..
my aim is to display a form (chat window ) when a message is coming.
But when I use this code, Form appears in the task bar,,, not perfectly rendered...
seems like this... More over I can see the form only when I mousehover the Icon on taskbar (Hail Windows 7)... Any form are like this...

my code is this...

C#

public jabber.client.JabberClient jabberClient1;
jabberClient1.User = UserName;
jabberClient1.Password = Password;
jabberClient1.Resource = resource;
jabberClient1.AutoRoster = true;
jabberClient1.OnMessage += new MessageHandler(jabberClient1_OnMessage);

private void jabberClient1_OnMessage(object sender, jabber.protocol.client.Message msg)
{
	try
	{
		chatWindow chw = new chatWindow();
		chw.Left = 0;
		chw.Top = 0;
		chw.TopMost = true;
		//chw.LoadChat(msg.From.User, msg.From.Bare, "0");
		//chw.SetMessage(msg);
		chw.Show();
	}
}

Thanks all who answered me,,, I have solved it myself....
The Problem was I had to set the InvokeCOntrol property in jabberclient to the very first form loaded in the application... If Invoked COntrol form is not loaded, It will show all forms shown from its events like this... Here is the code...

JabberClient1.InvokeControl = FirstShownFormInstance;
