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 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
