Quake3 doesn't run in a window. It's a full screen DirectX display. Don't think you can put a normal window on top of it like you're wanting.

Maybe spitting GDI+ stuff to the screen?

Hi it does work for Quake 3.

I tested it by doing

sleep(5000)

WinSetOnTop("Form1", "", 1)

Just wondering how to set it to a hotkey.

[grahamwh]

Can anybody help me with this

[Valuater]

Maybe...

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{F9}", "ShowMe")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = Not $Paused
    While $Paused
        Sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"', 0, 0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc   ;==>TogglePause

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Func ShowMe()
    WinSetOnTop("Form1", "", 1)
EndFunc   ;==>ShowMe
