Yes!

Procedure FrontWindow(WindowID)
Pos.RECT : GetWindowRect_(WindowID,Pos)
SetWindowPos_(WindowID,#HWND_TOPMOST,Pos\left,Pos\top,WindowWidth(),WindowHeight(),0)
EndProcedure

Call this procedure with:

FrontWindow(WindowID())

after you open your window.

BTW if you go to Paul's resource site you will find a lot of snippets, also my templates for window manipulations... (this procedure is there as well...)

Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

Here's the command but you might want to do a search of the Forum next time... lots of the questions now have already been answered somewhere.

SetWindowPos_(WindowID(),#HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,16|2|1)
