[Visual Basic:Help]Make a desktop search box

[stripe103]

Hi! New problem.
I am going to make some kind of search box so that when you are on the desktop, you can just click Ctrl + Shift + Alt to bring up a search box. Now the thing is that I've got it to show and hide, but here is the problem. If you hide it, and work on something else, the window gets unfocused which makes you unable to get it back. Can someone help me with this?

Since it is a new problem and no one have answered, I might as well use this topic for it.

BUMP to make it show again.

And here goes another bump.

I am not familiar with Visual Basic, so I can't really help you with creating it, but aren't there already options to put a desktop searchbox on your computer? I use one that stays down in the taskbar.

I have Finder, and I love him.

Or spotlight, whatever the hell Mac Users call them.

Well yea, but mine is supposed to have an updated list of engines so that you can install the ones that you like and therefore saving time. For example Google, YouTube and maybe even CP.
And it is also for educational purposes for me. It is hard to come up with things to make, and when I do, there is always something I can't do, and currently, this is it.
