Thanks for the info with the keyboard-shortcut, I hadn't thought of that yet.
But: I believe there is a difference between a "modal" dialog (which blocks the windows underneath as the Search-Dialog does) and a "topmost" dialog, which just stays on top but does still allow the program underneath to react. I don't know in which language PSPad is written, but in C#, you would first set the form's "TopMost" property to true and then the difference is: form.Show(); //opens the dialog "topmost" or form.ShowDialog(); //opens the dialog "modal" I wrote you a little example in C#: http://blog.todamax.net/tmp/TopMostDialog.zip (just the .exe) http://blog.todamax.net/tmp/TopMostDialog-sourcecode.zip (the whole source code) I hope this makes things a little clearer. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,71881,71888> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
