I can't type any word any where even capslock can't be on, after i used it for topping an app
Windows 10 64bit, AMD A8

Will remove for next build.

I'm pretty sure I've been using this for a few months, and I just tried to tell a friend how to get it and I had some trouble finding my way back here.

License is blank in the installer, pretty minor, just thought I'd mention it.

The program get's detected from Bitdefender as "Gen:NN.ZexaF.34590.@f3@au@YaJpi", maybe it's a false positive but I don't know

After running an app in elevated admin mode it can't be placed on top.

My Chinese input does not work when this program is running

and when I choosing the window, the program said that

In settings is it possible to turn of system sounds.

Looking farward to the always put these windows on top feature!!

Thanks for this.

Hey not really an issue as much as just checking to see if your still developing this at all. Looking mostly for the "always keep this window on top by title" feature. Have a window that only opens every now and then but it always opens behind other stuff. Was hoping this program would be able to always bring that to the front automatically based on the window title. Is that feature something that will be coming anytime soon or should I look for another solution?

Thanks,

Matt

I have the k55 Corsair Keyboard, I don't know if it makes a difference with others, but when this program is being run, the keys are not responsive at all

I'm looking for a hotkey-based solution for toggling always on top for windows. Can it be added here?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open settings
2. Adjust setting to run at login
3. Click Apply

Expected result:
String value "AlwaysOnTop" with installation path added to "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

Actual Result:

Cause for error message: The exception is not handled. Will rectify by adding "Try...Catch" upon apply.

Cause for error:
McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise Access Protection blocked entry by rule. Discovered in log:
1/4/2017 9:33:20 AM Blocked by Access Protection rule <domain\user> C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\JPARNELL\ALWAYSONTOP\ALWAYSONTOP.EXE HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN\ALWAYSONTOP Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering to autorun Action blocked : Create

Error cannot be circumnavigated as this is a policy rule set by VSE administrators.

Workaround:
If able, disable "Access Protection" and try again.
Otherwise, create shortcut to "%ProgramFiles%\AlwaysOnTop\AlwaysOnTop.exe" in "%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" to get the same results

I have found the issue with 0.6.1 version (installed on Win 10).
When I pin the browser window with Always on Top, then my keyboard is not working with other windows.
There is no problem with 0.5.1 version though.

Keyboard (almost) do not respond after installing and running the Always On Top on WIndows 10. Only thing working was my keyboard lighting (I guess it worked on drivers level?). Even caps lock was fucked. Couldn't do anything. Thankfully, I managed to spawn task manager from task bar (mouse right click menu), then find the AlwaysOnTop process and kill it.

Seems the tool is OUTDATED and can cause unexpected behaviour.

• * Add "Check for Updates every:" and frequency under "Settings"

I made a Chrome browser window (with some few tabs) as Always on Top. Now it just stays Always on Top. Not sure what to make it go away! I cannot close it.

I just did this:

1. Open the Config panel for AlwaysOnTop v0.1
2. Quit AlwaysOnTop v0.1 (from the control panel or context menu, I don't remember)
3. Downloaded AlwaysOnTop v0.2 from the git repo here
4. Right-click on the new purple Tray icon
5. Select "Always On Top"

Expected result:

Shiny new config UI (hopefully with the disappeared-from-the-menu "Launch at Startup" checkbox)

Observed result:

Nothing happens (except the context-menu from step 4 closes).

Title.

Arrow keys don't work either in the top window or bottom one. I need to close alwaysontop entirely to restore arrow key function.

We cannot open Windows Start menu when the following Settings window is open:

Version: 0.6.1
Build: 170118.2106

Could you please add an option to let us hide AlwaysOnTop's Systray icon from the Taskbar?

And to disable it, I guess we'll just need to launch the AlwaysOnTop shortcut, that'll show up the preference window, so that we can uncheck the "Hide Taskbar Icon" option.

Or have this option within the shortcut's argument (ex: "...\jparnell\alwaysontop.exe" -hidden)
Or maybe let us change this option in a ".ini" or ".xml" config file (within programfiles\jparnell\alwaysontop\ or appdata\romaing\jparnell\alwaysontop)

Thanks again for this really nice and clean little useful app!

I've got a fresh install of v0.5.0 (I downloaded the AlwaysOnTop-Installer.exe). When I try to open the settings window, the JIT runtime throws this error:

************** Text výjimky **************

Its in Czech but basically it says Text of the exception and Link (pointer?) is not set to the object's instance. However if I click Continue, it runs anyway. Similarly if I choose to exit the program, an error shows up, this time:

************** Text výjimky **************

I've got Visual Studio 2015, very basic knowledge of C# and I'm willing to help with debugging, if it doesn't take too much time.

Hey guys. I'm working on fixing bugs in my fork and then I'll throw together a pull request. Just let me know about any bugs in here and I'll add them to the list to fix.

CURRENT LIST

• Keyboard not working -- fixed

  • #15 #14

• Uses an absurd amount of memory for such a small app -- fixed

• Sometimes the SetHotkeyDialog appears behind the settings dialog -- fixed

• An error is thrown when the selected window has no title.

• Hotkeys don't actually work (using a set hotkey doesn't do anything).

• WinKey+ hotkeys are not registered in the SetHotkeyDialog

• Releasing certain keys in the SetHotkeyDialog cause the set keys to revert to default

  • Needs more testing

• References to future features need to either be implemented or removed

• AlwaysOnTop does not release windows during exit

  • Lucky for us it doesn't right now, but it should.

Hi,

Just installed AlwaysOnTop on Windows 10 Enterprise.
When I activate it for a window, it does what it needs to do.
The indicated windows stay's always on top of others and of the taskbar but:
When I slide the always on tow window to a side to type or do something with the keyboard, the keyboard is dead.
I need to exit AlwaysOnTop to get my keyboard back.

As long as I have not used AlwaysOnTop, keyboard works fine in all windows.

Regards,

Marc
