OK - to be clear: I think what you are asking is how to raise a window to the top of the stack, that is not currently hidden, and *is not* a window of the currently focussed application? If the window *is* a member of the currently focussed application, then calling show on it should pop it to the top of the stack whether it is hidden or not, so that is the simple case. If the window is *not* a member of the current application, then how you force it to the top of the stack is possibly going to be window-manager specific. I don't think fltk supports that operation directly. Why do you want to do this? Are you sure it is the best design? Generally it is "Bad Form" (and certainly very questionable design) to force your window to the top of the stack, on top of what the user is currently doing. And just because many Windows apps do that, doesn't mean we should do the same! That said, most of the window manager's do provide some method for forcing a window to the top of the stack, so it can be done if you need to, but you may require non-fltk code to do so. Others may be able to help you out with that, since I don't know what it is.
