How to bring VI Front Panel in Front of All Desktop Windows?

[Tiemo_Mo]

Hi,

I am referring to following post:

https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000PA7NSAW&l=de-DE

It is using GetForegroundWindow and SetForegroundWindow, but the post is saying that this is not compatible for Windows 10.

How can I bring my VI front panel to the front of all desktop windows in Windows 10? Is there an update? Or is there another method to use?

Thanks and best regards

Tiemo

Have you tried "Bring To Front" method in the application class?

If you want to do this even when your app doesn't have focus, you can call the Windows SetWindowPos function, which seems to work in Windows 10. There is a trick, where you need to call it twice and set the window to be topmost and then set it to be notopmost. You would expect setting it to top would work, but it seems not to.
