Wow!! Finally, 50 years later, Windows has the "Always on Top" feature. Maybe just for the calculator - but WOW! Having a window NOT DISAPPEAR is so fundamental to all kinds of tasks. Thanks for this savory bit of spit Microsoft.

If this paltry tidbit is not enough, did you know that, by PUSHING ONE BUTTON, you can toggle the state of ANY WINDOW to "AlwaysOnTop" or normal?

Here's the code to do that, but be warned, you have to be a genius developer at Microsoft to write this kind of code:

F7::
#Persistent
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle, %Calc%
return

Or maybe anyone can do it!

It's really just ONE LINE: WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle, %Window Title%

All it takes is installing the 2mb open source miracle called AUTOHOTKEY. Then put the code above into a file named something like "AlwaysOnTop.ahk" Double click that file and it will be running!

Now when you press F7 (or ANY KEY you choose) the window in focus will NEVER go away, until you press F7 again.

I have my F1 key bring up a menu of hundreds of little scripts much cooler than this which I've written that have saved me a thousand hours of life! I use the AlwaysonTop in my recording studio when my vocalist Gain Volume cannot go away no matter what other windows are clicked, if I have a singer with a GIANT dynamic range but they insist on a delicate ribbon mic. One of the BEST SCRIPTS that save great headache is the "CountOpenandClosedDivs" which, if you program web pages with html, and you have thousands of lines - YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'VE CLOSED all your div tags!

And the AutoHotkey forum is simply great: People LOVE to help you automate stuff. If you ever want to automate something, seek on their forum and Ye Shall Find!

Then: try not to go crazy once you realize:
You can do ANYTHING with AUTOHOTKEY :)

Below is a small idea of the kinds of things you can do with AutoHotKey. This is the menu of scripts that pops up when I hit my F1 key. The Text Manipulation submenu alone saves me oodles of typing when I'm writing.

#a::
WinSet,AlwaysOnTop, , A
Return

I think this code is a little better, is for the window you have actually active, no need to have multiple codes for each program :)
is triggered by typing Windows key + letter a

Yes, that works! Well done! My code is useful if you want to bring a window buried deep in stacks by title: no need to hunt for it and make it active: call it straight up, front and center by name! This is especially useful in cases where it's impossible to activate a window because an app like KMPlayer will NEVER yield to another window vying for Ontop position - ever! I haven't tested yours: does it toggle the AlwaysOnTop attribute on and off with each call?

What would you like to do with AutoHotkey ? Type in whatever you please into google and just put the word AutoHotkey with your search. You are likely to get MANY useful hits :) Whenever something repetitive is bugging me in the course of a week: I AUTOMATE THAT SUCKER. Most stuff you can imagine has already been coded. You BENEFIT from the hard work and genius of others :) God bless your every noble direction and Happy Thanksgiving!

:hi: Wow, wish I could write code like that.
Thank you.:)
;) No worries, I won't go using this ...much,
kidding, at all really, I know my strengths and this
isn't one of them, at least not yet but I'm learning.

Thanks again.:)

What is your greatest strength Reddove?
:hi: I think my greatest strength is determination
and loyalty. To be honest I have never thought about
what my strengths are, I am quicker to point it out in others,
all I know is I am honest, sometimes to a fault, once I star something
I have to see it through. I believe a person's word should mean something.
I'm fiercely protective. Yeah, I'm a goof ball.:)

I bet my answer should of been, I can pretty much put a pc together.
The first part of my answer looks like I rehearsing a miss America speech or
something. Ask me a question and I write my biography.:think::rofl:;)
