WinSetAlwaysOnTop not working

[Winter Laite]

Working AHK code:

MyGui := Gui(, "KEYSHARP TESTS")
WinSetAlwaysOnTop(1, MyGui)
MyEdit := MyGui.Add("Edit", "w400 h400")

MyGui.Show()

Truncated error message from Keysharp:

Uncaught exception:

Message: Unable to cast object of type 'Keysharp.Core.Gui' to type 'System.IConvertible'.

Stack:    at System.Convert.ToInt32(Object value)

Workaround using DllCall:

SetTitleMatchMode(2)
MyGui := Gui(, "KEYSHARP TESTS")
MyEdit := MyGui.Add("Edit", "w400 h400")
SetWindowAlwaysOnTop()
MyGui.Show()


SetWindowAlwaysOnTop() {
    HWND_TOPMOST := -1
    SWP_NOSIZE := 0x0001
    SWP_NOMOVE := 0x0002
    SWP_SHOWWINDOW := 0x0040
    DllCall("SetWindowPos", "Ptr", MyGui.Hwnd, "Ptr", HWND_TOPMOST, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "Uint", SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_SHOWWINDOW)
}

This sets the GUI always on top.

Working code, thanks for the tip. This is another difference between AHK and Keysharp, please mark resolved and close.

A_DetectHiddenWindows := True ; Necessary in Keysharp
MyGui := Gui(, "KEYSHARP TESTS")
WinSetAlwaysOnTop(1, MyGui)
MyEdit := MyGui.Add("Edit", "w400 h400")

MyGui.Show()

To avoid having to use A_DetectHiddenWindows := True, code like that shown below works.

MyGui := Gui(, "KEYSHARP TESTS")
MyGui.Opt("+AlwaysOnTop")
MyEdit := MyGui.Add("Edit", "w400 h400")

MyGui.Show()

Please mark as resolved and closed, unless you feel the remaining minor issue needs addressing. Thanks!
