Yes - but I think it's such a spectacularly bad idea to write such an 
application, I'm tempted not to tell you :-) :-)


OK - what I tried was to create timer (I just fired it once per second), 
and had it do this

>         self.childWindow.Raise()
>         self.Raise()

self.Raise() will raise the main window to the top (i.e. over other 
apps), but not over any dialog window invoked from the main window (the 
dialog window will also come up to above other apps)

Just to try if it could be done, this test also raises a child window - 
nasty flicker if they overlap and I suspect some tricky cases possible 
with interaction between the main window, any dialog and the child 0 but 
otherwise works.

I still say you shouldn't do it :-)
