How to get plugin UI to be at the same level as Revit?

[0001des]

I'm currently setting my plug-in's UI to "TopMost" but if I minimize Revit, my plugin stays on top.  Is there a way to have my plug-in's UI to match the functionality of Revit?

You have to ensure that your control is assigned the Revit main window as parent.

For instance, if you display your form using ShowDialog, make use of its overload taking an IWin32Window argument:

• ShowDialog(IWin32Window) -- Shows the form as a modal dialog box with the specified owner.

Also note that the Revit 2019 API provides direct access to the Revit main window handle:
