heibel Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi all, auto-exe running on background: it starts/runs an app app trickers somehow the autoit-exe which then does an FileOpenDialog or FileSaveDialog (all about .mdb-files) How on earth get them to go 'always on top' I tried a lot, even minimising the current active window/program... It works, but I noticed: if there are other windows/programs already opened the dialog still goes under the other programs (like when i started the autoit-exe with powerdesk...) aarghhh!, Fiddled with WinSetOnTop(AutoItWinGetTitle(),"",1), no luck Fiddled even with ShellExecute(FileOpenDialog... (nifty, is always ontop, but obviously fires in my case the acces-software...) So, any workaround? Own customised filedialog? Many, many thanks in advance!

heibel Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi, found my own solution! Just before the FileDialog: Flip in a TOOLWINDOW! (even out of DeskTop) Optional: move the window to the centre for 'feedback'. Works like a charm! This should get you started: #include <ShellFileOperation.au3> $VIO_FileDB="originalFilename.mdb";(sample) $VIO_gui=GuiCreate("VIO: Save", 150, 100, @DesktopWidth+10, 2 , 0, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW+$WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUISetBkColor (0xFFFAD9) $VIO_lbl2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("database: copied!"&@CRLF&"OK",3, 10, 140, 100, $SS_CENTER+$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT ) GUICtrlSetFont ($VIO_lbl2, 10, 400, "", "Arial Bold") GUICtrlSetColor ( $VIO_lbl2, 0x000000) GuiSetState() $VIO_xx = FileSaveDialog( "Save database (backup)", "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}", "Database (*.mdb)", 2,$VIO_FileDB) If $VIO_xx<>"" AND @error<>1 Then $VIO_filecopy = _ExplorerCopy(@AppDataDir & "\VIO\" & $VIO_FileDB, $VIO_xx); from <ShellFileOperation.au3>, progressbar! if $VIO_filecopy=1 Then WinMove($VIO_gui, "", @DesktopWidth/2-75, @DesktopHeight/2-50) Sleep(2500) Else if $VIO_filecopy<>false Then MsgBox(16,"Error", "Copying failed..."&@CRLF&@CRLF&"Please check available space and/or connection...") EndIf EndIf EndIf GUIDelete() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
