Floating windows become last active window when top-level VI is stopped

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

I tend to use a lot of floating windows that can be suppressed by the user if they don't want to see them any more, to convey various messages.

 

But in doing so, either Windows or LV is playing three card Monty with the order that they show up in the open programs list.  Is it possible to leave them at their original ordering?  When you have a lot of VI's open, this can be quite irritating.  This might be something that can't really be worked around because of Windows quirks, but I don't know enough of the Win kernel to say ... maybe the floating status of a VI is actually a Windows flag that you have no control over.

 

Also, would it be possible to not have floating LV windows disappear from the Windows task list?  This seems like it's directly related to the same cause of the previous issue.

 

Thanks,

-Ben
