Always on top application

Hi,

Firstly I am not a programmer. I'm a support engineer implementing
technical projects.

I have a question which hopefully someone will be able to help answer
this for me. We are using a demo system that 'profile' documents into
our DM system and allows users to scan in images to that profile
document at a later stage. The application has been written in .Net as
it need the .NET Framework 2.0 client installed.

The problem I have is that when a user profiles a document, a profile
window pops up for that user to index the document to the DM system.
This profile window gets stuck behind other windows, mainly the windows
explorer, and is often missed by the user as it cannot be seen.

This is my question to you .Net programmers out there. Is there a way
to implement the 'Always on Top' function within the code somewhere so
the profile window always sits on top of any other window?

If someone could give me a lehmans overview whether this is dificult or
not so I can take this back to my supplier.

Many thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply,

It not actually the same application.

It is a plugin for hummingbird DM which in itself bolts into windows
explorer.

You open Win Explorer, click on the DM integration link, and then click
on a pluig in that allows you to scan in documents to the DM. This
plugin that allows you to scan in documents gets stuck behind windows
explorer....

Any help would be appreciated....

Many thanks
