Use the extended style $WS_EX_TOPMOST in GUICreate.

i had to include "#include <WindowsConstants.au3>" and it worked but previously it was centered now it is on the left corner of the desktop any solutions

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()


Func Example()
    Local $button_1,$button_2, $button_3, $button_4
    Local $Halt, $msg

    Opt("GUICoordMode", 1)
    GUICreate("T", 140, 260,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    
    
    
    $button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Earth", 20, 20, 100, 40)
    $button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Water", 20, 80, 100, 40)
    $button_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Fire", 20, 140, 100, 40)
    $button_4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Air", 20, 200, 100, 40)
    
    GUISetState()

    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE

            Case $msg = $button_1
                WinActivate ("Earth")
            Case $msg = $button_2
                WinActivate ("Water")
            Case $msg = $button_3
                WinActivate ("Fire")
            Case $msg = $button_4
                WinActivate ("Air")

            Case $Halt = $msg
