No -- styles don't work in this way.  Substituting the window's ID here
would expand to this:

Style 69206050 StaysOnTop

Which would mean you'd need a window who matched "69206050".  That's not
going to work.

Of course, it's really WindowStyle which internally uses the window's ID,
but that's a different story.
