Thanks for this handy tool. A couple of suggestions…
Have the option of keeping a window on top even when pressing the "Show Desktop" button in the lower right corner of Windows.
Some type of visual indicator that a window is "pinned".
Thanks again!
hello my program i created with visual basic 2019 is not detected by TopMost controlv1.2 i do not know why. pls help
Thank you Italo Dantas , we will search the possibilities.
Congratulations on the excellent work. Would it be possible to increase this program or build a new one capable of blocking new windows from opening in the foreground? Usually some alert or program window ‘pops’ on the screen as the main ones. Eventually we are typing something without focusing on the screen, so we press enter or space and a command was given to the window without having the slightest idea of what was done.
Greetings.
wow! exactly what i was searching for! thanks! works great on win7<3
Thank you! Elinize sağlık.
@Tenten
Okay, but what I’m saying is that I’ve set the program (TopMost) to run whenever the computer is started (turned on/restarted)
Taking your advice would mean that I’d have to initiate the change every time the system is loaded. The better way would be to have the program remember the setting through an ini file or so. Nevertheless, the Admin understands what I mean so everything is cool. Sorry for the confusion
@Alanzo Franko
You can change the setting of the active window by double-clicking the icon in the system tray.
@ Alanzo Franko : We have noted it down , may add this feature next version. Thanks

Any graphic symbol in the top window would be good… Pin?
Maybe it could also be used to switch TopMost.
