Message display on top even Labview runs in background

Hello,

            Currently in my program I am displaying a message to user, when one of the task finished in my program. It wait until or pause the program until user interaction. So, I am using "Display message VI" and it is working as I expected when I run my program. 

          

            I would like to display a message to user even, if user is working on some other area in the same PC i.e.. Browser or playing games or some thing else. My current program did not do this and it only pop-up the message on Labview block diagram or frontpanel.

 

How can I display the same message even if the user is doing some thing else on the same system.

Hey, I use LabVIEW 2011 and when I run the following vi, minimize LabVIEW and browse the internet (even in fullscreen) the dialog box pops up, as you want it to.
