It should show outside of your form is you set the Owner to Null (or call ShowNotification which implicitly sets it to null).

Is it covered by other windows when you call it?

sorry didn't understand...

when i call it - call it like this:

Private cutils As ControlsUtils

cutils.ShowNotification("mytitle", "blablah...",  cutils.ICON_INFORMATION)

You mean... the form... ??

MainForm.SetOwner(Null)

this gives me error:

main._appstart (java line: 75)

...Yes... actually when i am going to other application - i want it when i have a notification to come on top (only the notification - not the app)

No.

It is not configurable. You will need to create a custom notification made of a form.

Is there any example or something to help me ... make on top app... or better on top notification... ?

How to make a window "top most" (Solved-JFX8)

Hello, I would like to have a window always on top of all the other desktop windows. "System top most". Is it possible with B4J? I have the feeling that it's the stage/toFront() from this page, but I don't know how to implement it in B4J. Thanks. [edit] : See the solution on post #10

www.b4x.com

found solution

Sub setAlwaysOnTop(frm As Object, Value As Boolean)
    Dim frmJO As JavaObject = frm
    Dim stage As JavaObject = frmJO.GetField("stage")
    stage.RunMethod("setAlwaysOnTop", Array(Value))
End Sub

Thanks...
