GUI Stay on Top ON OFF Button

[DoofGore]

Hello All, My first post I know this is pretty noobish but I'm trying to find a way to make this gui working.. searched but as I'm new to autoit I don't understand much... 

I want to make this gui on top if we press ON TOP button and off on top function when we press on top off.. Created gui with koda ... any help would be appreciated 

Regards,

 

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 353, 209, 192, 114)
Global $ONTOPON = GUICtrlCreateButton("ON TOP ON", 32, 40, 137, 65)
Global $exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("EXIT", 105, 118, 137, 65)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
Global $ONTOPOFF = GUICtrlCreateButton("ON TOP OFF", 184, 41, 137, 65)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $ONTOPON

        Case $ONTOPOFF

        Case $exit
