I am writing a Rich Client Platform application.
Is there any way to make set the application to be "always on top"?
Thanks,
Mark

You can try shell.setActive()/shell.forceActive();
If you want to set it's state to be permanently ontop after it has been
constructed otherwise, you can do some native stuff to do it, but it
will only work on Windows. There might be another way, but I don't know
of it. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as I've
experimented with it a lot.
int flags = OS.SWP_NOSIZE | OS.SWP_NOMOVE | OS.SWP_NOACTIVATE;
OS.SetWindowPos(shell.handle, OS.HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0,flags);

You have to bitwise OR the styles you want together:
Shell shell = new Shell(display,SWT.ON_TOP | SWT.MAX | SWT.MIN | SWT.CLOSE);
look at the Styles list in:
" http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/documentation/2.0/html /plugins/org.ec
lipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/widgets /Shell.html "
