As an aside - does Win7 still honour the TOPMOST flag? If so, something like this might work: HWND hw = fl_xid(main_win); SetWindowPos(hw, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, (SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW)); Then later put it back the way you found it with: HWND hw = fl_xid(main_win); SetWindowPos(hw, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, (SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW)); In principle, if TOPMOST is still honoured, that should force your window to the top of the stack in an "always on top" sort of way - that ought to get the end-users attention! And is also why TOPMOST is generally frowned upon of course!
