The alwayOnTop subcommand is not full proof, for example if another window that also has alwaysOnTop happens to be active, it can obscure a window that also has alwaysOnTop, and then there are system windows (start, notifications) that seem to be above standard 'on top' windows
Searching a round there seems to be a way to do this, something to do with "zband" but its not well known and its to do with DLL calls, something I don't know much about.
Apparently a few people figured out it, for example @malcev and @teadrinker
I tried to rework malcev's example, Alaways on Top Windows 10, and test it on a notepad window:
Code: Select all
hwnd := DllCall("CreateWindowInBand", "uint", 0, "str", "Notepad", "str", "Untitled - Notepad", "uint", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 200, "int", 200, "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0, "ptr", 0, "int", ZBID_UIACCESS := 2, "ptr")
if !a_lasterror
WinShow ahk_id %hwnd%
else
msgbox % a_lasterror
I have tried to solve this on my own but examples are sparse and I am not getting anywhere, I would appreciate any pointers or solutions. Thanks.
