GUI on Top

[vaya 0]

Hello Experts,

I ve created autoit GUI script which works fine , this script reactes also with a windows GUI program . Every thing works fine , but when I start my Autoit gui script , it is behind another windows form(gui) . I would like that my autoit should be on top when it starts . does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

Many thanks in advance

this works for me:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$hgui= 0

$hgui = guicreate("dialog window appears as top window when I run script", 600, 300);
GUISetState(@sw_show)

$done= 0
while $done== 0
    $msg= GUIGetMsg()
    
    if $msg== $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE then $done= 1
WEnd

did you want the window to remain as top window?

$hgui = guicreate("dialog window always on top", 600, 300, 0, 0, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST);

just swap

$hgui = guicreate("dialog window appears as top window when I run script", 600, 300)

with

$hgui = guicreate("dialog window always on top", 600, 300, 0, 0, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST);

... or to bring it to the top when you want to

WinSetOnTop($hGui,"",1)

In the style section, try $DS_SETFOREGROUND
