Is there a way to programatically keep one vi window on top of the other without losing the ability to control the background one?

I am running a scope program running parallel with a test program that updates it every test cycle. When I click on the test program to stop or pause it, the scope window disappears behind the active one. Is there a way to programatically refresh it to the top? I designed the scope this way so that you can manipulate the scope data without interfering with the test program. I could divide the screen into two halves, one scope side, the other test side, except the test side has too much information and fits better on 3/4 of the screen.

In the Windows Utilities for LabVIEW at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/opendoc?openagent&74DDE683A1AFF6988625683A000C0D73&cat=034E59A8530E09DF862568900018707A there is a VI called Move Window to Top. You could put this in the test program. George Zou at http://gtoolbox.topcool.net/ has a similar routine and many more.
