How to set a window (not dialog) always on top?

[alexpere]

I'm currently using the command:

GUICreate($progName, 350, 400, -1, -1, BitOr($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP))

to create a very simple GUI window with no close buttons, etc. I want this window to always stay on top. I've tried the switches $DS_MODALFRAME (which I guess won't work because it's not a dialog) and $WS_EX_TOPMOST to no avail.

Has anyone else done this with success that can help me out?

This should stay on top (unless other windows also have the "topmost" property):

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Example", 350, 400, -1, -1, BitOr($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP), $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GuiSetState()

While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

You could also AutoIt's WinSetOnTop function

Thanks CyberSlug, there's so many options these days and I was choosing the complicated one!
