So ideally, you want an option wxSTAY_AT_BACK :) However, on a different point, on Linux, if I use
$pid = Wx::ExecuteArgs( [ ... ], wxEXEC_SYNC ); I could probably use the $pid to show the application (at least, I can if I right-click, and so probably I could from a command, too). I don't know about windows, but maybe there is a similar command. Maybe I'd have to use wxEXEC_ASYNC, so I could loop around checking until it started and then put it at the front. Good luck.
