Change OnTop state of GUI temporary to oher state

[Buffo]

Hi!

I have a gui which is created with parameter $WS_EX_TOPMOST.

There is a button which calls the FileOpenDialog. If this window is displayed the GUI should temporary set to background until the dialog is closed. How to realize that?

Thx in advance.

$guihandle = GuiCreate("bla bla bla")
WinSetOnTop($guihandle, "", 0)

This will not work. I searched the forum before but it seems that no one knows how to do it.

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)
...
GuiCreate("bla bla bla", ... ,..., ...$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$btn = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Click", ...)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($btn, "Click")
...

Func Click()
$var = FileOpenDialog(....)
...
EndFunc

It is not possible to set the FileopenFolder dialog with WinSetOnTop() because the script is paused there till the dialog ist closed.

Isn't there a possibility to change the window states after creating the window? I can't believe. ALL is possible with AutoIt3. Such a simple thing cannot be the limit

Come on guys

Not sure why you would want to continue on with a dialog box like that waiting, but.....

if your creative enough you could do the same thing as was done with MsgBox

Ahem... I just showed you the answer. I will reiterate with your own code:

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)
...
$guihandle = GuiCreate("bla bla bla", ... ,..., ...$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$btn = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Click", ...)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($btn, "Click")
...

Func Click()
WinSetOnTop($guihandle, "", 0)
$var = FileOpenDialog(....)
WinSetOnTop($guihandle, "", 1)
...
EndFunc

Now that wasn't hard, was it?

I missed the boat on that one, guess I totally mis-understood what was trying to be accomplished.

@this-is-me: In the manual I totally read over the third "flag" parameter. With WinSetOnTop() I associated only the "on top" feature not the opposite. Sorry for such a stupid question and thanks for your support
