window "placement"

Thu, Aug 22, 2002 1:23 PM #

Using Thomas Baier's DCOM server I can do the following (in Windows 2000):
I create a slider in Excel, and the sliders On_Change event triggers a 
call to R.
This call redraws an R graph, and so I have animated R graphics controlled
by Excel's slider.
The problem is that Excel needs focus so i can grab the slider, and 
therefore it partially covers
R's graph window.

Is there a way to keep the R graph window (created by way of the DCOM 
server)
on top of Excel (or even on top of everything else)
even when it does not have focus?

The problem is in Excel, though: focus and raising should be separate.
