Ok Now I seem to remember this same questioner (??) asking a few months ago about: I have an excel program running for 20 minutes and I want to lock the machine or something like that And you proscribing similarly then :-) Yeah 'On top' can be useful. 'Modal' is a PITA.

'Modal' is a PITA. Yeah, that sounds about right. "Always on top", incidentally, is very often used for windows which won't have input focus - maybe a small window showing a status graph, or maybe a short-lived popup alert - rather than as a means of keeping the user's attention on something. But whatever it's used for, it doesn't affect input focus. ChrisA

If you mean keep it on top while it is running, the answer is probably
yes, but how to do it depends on the OS, windowing syste, and tookit
in use.
However, doing so is pure evil and will cause users to wish bad things
upon you and all your family and descendants. If you want to make
some particular dialog the only one from your app that can be used,
that's fine, but don't try to override the user's desire to put other
applications on top of yours or to even control the ordering of
windows within your app.
Thinking your app is so important that it can take over the entire
desktop and needs to control what window is on top is just plain bad
[not that it's unusual for windows apps].
