Lister with "Stay on Top" function

Sometimes I think it would be comfortable, if I could activate
a Stay on Top function at the lister. If I want to compare or
transfer some content to large windows, it is necessary to
switch between them. To avoid this, the Lister could just
implement such a Stay on Top MenuItem and then stays in
front of the other windows, even if it loses the focus.
But it's just an idea

I agree! And it's not difficult to add it:
Code: Select all
SetWindowPos(Handle, hwnd_TopMost, 0, 0, 0, 0, swp_NoMove + swp_NoSize);
Some Delphi version even has it built-in.

Would be nice, especially for files not in plain text.
Support.
But it should only be valid for the current window and cleared when closing it.
2HolgerS:
For plain text you can also use File / Compare by content.
With version 7 you can even edit the files there and copy parts with one click/key.

That's right, but compare by content just compares files. It is ok, but I get TODO lists from our customers and I just thought, it would be comfortable to keep this on top, while I handle it.
And as you said, it is so simple to implement

It is comfortable to activate Stay on Top function not only with lister, but with several other application windows too. And why handle it differently in every application when it can be the same in all of them? The answer to this problem is PowerMenu:

PowerPro does the same....and it's way more powerful
