Always on top window

Hi,

I’m impressed with the options OpenFl provides now with desktop targets for moving widows and stuff.
One or two years ago, there was nothing of the sort.

But I can’t find any “always on top” option.
Does it exists?

A good place to start would be checking if this exists in SDL2. Have you taken a peek there?

That was fast…

As I just said, I am impressed that OpenFl has more options available, intuitively, without tweaking.
From your answer, “always on top” isn’t supported yet.
Not a big issue.

Thanks.

it might be possible to do platform-specific code for this, see where I handle the Windows icon:

github.com

openfl/lime/blob/6ecb71c1b411e875b72452027d36eec0e1b43638/project/src/backend/sdl/SDLWindow.cpp#L73-L92


		#ifdef HX_WINDOWS
		
		HINSTANCE handle = ::GetModuleHandle (nullptr);
		HICON icon = ::LoadIcon (handle, MAKEINTRESOURCE (1));
		
		if (icon != nullptr) {
			
			SDL_SysWMinfo wminfo;
			SDL_VERSION (&wminfo.version);
			
			if (SDL_GetWindowWMInfo (sdlWindow, &wminfo) == 1) {
				
				HWND hwnd = wminfo.info.win.window;
				::SetClassLong (hwnd, GCL_HICON, reinterpret_cast<LONG>(icon));
				
			}
			
		}
		
		#endif

Perhaps this would be similar to patching support in
