$WS_EX_TOPMOST

[SweatyOgre]

I'm trying to make a GUI with a label that displays a counter of how many times an event occurs. Everything displays fine, but I want the GUI window to stay on top of all other windows, as is my understanding of what $WS_EX_TOPMOST does. The window appears, and shows the counter, but goes under other windows. Is there a problem with my code that is preventing this from happening?

$style1 = BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GuiCreate("Counter", 115, 67,(@DesktopWidth-115)/2, (@DesktopHeight-67)/2 , $style1)

$WS_EX_TOPMOST is an extended style NOT a style so you need

GuiCreate("Counter", 115, 67-1, -1 , $WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)

You don't even need to compute the position of the window -1,-1 will center the window
