Re: [Pythoncard-users] PythonCard - Using wxSTAY_ON_TOP

[<gre...@gm...>]

The self.Raise() method brings my app on top of some windows but not on top=
=20
of others.=20

I'm seeing, it goes above Outlook and a dos window,
but does not go on top of IE, Firefox, or Textpad.

Since I want to be copying information from the browser I definately want i=
t=20
to work with Firefox. Any other ideas?
