front panel dll on top

[KimT]

Hi,

I made a dll using Labview 2009 64bit.

It is called by an other application written in C#.

The first time it opens on top of the window of the C# program.

When it is called a second time it is behind this main window.

How can I keep my front panel of the dll always on top??

I tried setting the option model in window appearance, this frooze the main window and the front panel was still behind it.

thanks!

Inside the LabVIEW code, use the Front Panel "Open" method (through an Invoke node) to activate the appropriate front panel on each call to the DLL.

Thanks for you reply, but unfortunately this doesn't work for me.

The front panel is open, but behind the main application.

I should be able to put it on top of all applications...

Sorry for misleading you, then - I didn't try this in a DLL prior to posting.  How about the Application method "Bring to Front"?  Does that work for you?

EDIT: and if that doesn't work, try the Windows calls suggested in this post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Bring-LabVIEW-built-exe-to-front-on-subsequent-launch-attempts/m-p/2...

I think it might be a windows 7 issue...
