MsgBox always on top


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I would like to ask the user to navigate to a certain place in a third-party program which is currently running, but after the user went to the appropriate place, he needs to come back to the Msgbox to click "OK" so my program can take over. How can I keep a MsgBox visble while an other program is in focus?

Could you modify this little program below in a way that it is always on top compared to other third party programs which are running, but does not block the user to interact with those othr programs?

MsgBox(1,"Window on Top"," I am supposed to be on Top of other windows")
WinSetOnTop("Window on Top"," I am supposed to be on Top of other windows",1)

WinSetOnTop clearly does not work... What is it used for?

Any ideas appreciated... Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Best regards:

Viktor

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
