Trying to get GUI as topmost window(SOLVED)

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make a GUI window that I have created as the topmost window even when other programs pop up such as AIM, notepad, etc. I've tried GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNORMAL, $GUIhandle), GUICtrlSetStyle($GUIhandle,, $WS_EX_TOPMOST).

None of these seem to work or I must be doing something a little off; I've got these inside a loop that constantly runs when the GUI window is running; any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. Thank you Melba.

Maybe something in thread might help?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Couldn't really decipher anything that would help me out in the situation I'm in. To go a little more in depth I'm trying to make this GUI window the topmost window even when other topmost windows pop up. Then it will be the topmost window even if 6 windows popped up infront of it it will still get put into the front from the loop.
