This is the op of the thread I linked to. Not sure if it works in this scenario or not.

Is it possible to open a modal window in front of an existing window?
Eg I have my prefs window and the I open a smaller window.
I use EnableWindow to disable the main prefs window, but If I then switch to another program and then select the window in the taskbar, I just see the disabled Prefs window which i can't obviously do anything with, and as the other window is small it's hidden behind it.
How can I do it like for example the plus prefs do it when downloading script documentation etc, which keeps the mini-window on top even when switching to another program and back again.
Thanks for any ideas
