_messagebox Z-Order - ahenry3068 - 03-22-2025
Is there a way to make sure a _messagebox call will always be above other Windows. It works as expected on Linux but on Windows sometimes the Z-order is behind the other window's (usually the console) and I'll have to bring it forward. This isn't fatal to my application but it is annoying.

Sometimes helps to call _AutoDisplay before calling _MessageBox.

This is a Linux users two pence worth... I've not dabbled in Windows since XP.
Maybe going this route, and specifying MB_TOPMOST as part of the Type flags?

I will try this first before I take a dive into Tantalus's suggestion. Hopefully it will do it. (Much less code to deal with).
Thank You.

This does look like it will solve the problem. I'll go this route if I have too,
Thank you. I am going to try the previous suggestion and see if that works first.

For me the box always stays in front.
