Hi all,
In my extension I currently display an alert slider (by using the
mozilla alert
component) similar to that used by Thunderbird to notify you of new mail.
Instead of using the existing alert APIs, I want to use my own custom
window.
I have it mostly working, but there's one thing I can't figure out - how
can I
force my alert window to have focus, even when Firefox itself does not have
focus? The Thunderbird alert, for instance, displays on top of other OS
application windows, even if Firefox is minimized. I would like this same
functionality. The way I have it now, my alert only has the focus of Firefox
itself; so if another application window is on top of Firefox, my alert
window
will show below the other application window. I would like to force it
on top of
any windows - I know it must be possible since the mozilla
showAlertNotification
does it somehow, but I can't figure it out. Maybe I need to utilize
some XPCOM
interface or something. Does anyone have any ideas?
You can just look in the source to see how it is implemented:

In particular I believe you will be interested in this OpenWindow call (its set
of features):
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/components/alerts/src/nsAlertsService.cpp#120
120 rv = wwatch->OpenWindow(0, ALERT_CHROME_URL, "_blank",
121 "chrome,dialog=yes,titlebar=no,popup=yes", argsArray,
122 getter_AddRefs(newWindow));
