Alway on top problem

Sometime I have a form that is set to be TopMost but then I'll popup an
error message or "Do you really..." message that will be hidden behind it.

Is there a way to make the messagebox or other dialog boxes be on top of
everything?

Thanks

For other forms: Set their 'TopMost' property to 'True' too.

sorry, I wasn't clear.

What is hidden is usually a message box, maybe a file dialog, or something
like that.
I could make my own messagebox but the other dialogs are more difficult.

I can't inherit these things, can I?

It makes no difference to either version of php whether I use double or single quotes when asigning a value to $filename. Nor does it matter whether I use...

I'm having a problem on windows (both 2000 and XP) with a multi-threaded tkinter gui application.

The following simple example code illustrates the problem and the work around I've come up with; However, I'd like, very much, to get rid of the kludgy work around....

I have a virtual function in a base class, which is then overwritten by a function of the same name in a publically derived class.

All other similar functions (virtual in the base class and overwritten in the the derived class) work fine, it's just this one function. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
