Labview Dialog shows up behind teststand or testexec

I have created a Test Sequence in Teststand 2014 (64 bit) on windows 7.   My sequence overrides the PreUUT to display a dialog to let the user choose from a list of similar [widgets] ( all widget behave the same but require different limits)   This all works.   The one annoying thing that I am running into is the dialog that pops up for the user is shown BEHIND the teststand UI or the testexec.exe ui.  This requires the operator to move it out of the way before he can select a [widget] and proceed.

 

So far I've found 2 potential work around but neither of them are clean.

1) Enable the "Show VI Front Panel is On"

2) display an express VI first (File Dialog Express VI)

 

if I do either of those 2 things then my dialog shows up on top of the TestStand UI.  I'd rather not do that because for 1)  it looks ugly  for 2) there is no need for the user to select a file unless its not where it is supposed to be.

 

Is there some property for the sequence or the step that I am missing ?
