ppat Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 How can I make a message box appear above the GUI window? For example, in this code, the message box is hidden behind the GUI window. #include <GuiConstants.au3> GUICreate("Information", 600, 320, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 300, 100, -1, 0x00000018) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) MsgBox(0,"Message box", "For some reason, this is hidden by the GUI") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpookMeister Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 MsgBox(4096,"Message box", "For some reason, this is hidden by the GUI") Look at the Flag options in MsgBox's help page [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2009 ppat,As in WindowsConstants.au3 there is:Global Const $WS_EX_TOPMOST = 0x00000008I would imagine that 0x00000018 contains the TOPMOST style. Try with just 0x00000010.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
