farhan86a Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi, I have created a small application to launch an another application which performs most of my tasks automatically on clicks of buttons created using AutoIT. Now, till the time my AutoIT runs I want it to be visible above all the applications. By being visible I don't want it to be "active" as I can click on it any time but visibility is what I want. I want that window to stay on top of every application. Is this possible?Can somebody throw some light on this. Thanks a mega ton. -F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted September 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2011 farhan86a, Just create your GUI with the $WS_EX_TOPMOST extended style: "Specifies that a window created with this style should be placed above all non-topmost windows and should stay above them, even when the window is deactivated" M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farhan86a Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 M23, So do you mean all the $WS_GROUP should be replaced by $WS_EX_TOPMOST extended style? Thanks so much M23, I read the materials yesterday and bingo! I am halfway up with my application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
