While I'm using Blue Iris as my security & surveillance software, this question probably benefits any other security software programs running under Windows.
If I have BI (or other security monitoring app) running in the background or in my systems tray while I'm working on a document or spreadsheet covering my entire screen and a motion triggers a camera, currently I cannot see it if my BI window is in the background.
Has anyone figured out a way to force that application to the foreground? BI has a setting which allows you to force the software window to be Always on top of other windows on the screen. However, that's only good to prevent other windows from popping up ahead of it. It doesn't work when BI is already in the background. I think this would be neat also if I was using my picture viewer / media player in the foreground and when a security event captures motion to allow BI or whatever app to pop over my currently running task.

My desire is to have that PC cycling through my family photo album but if a security event should occur, then that event would allow the security software to take priority over any other running application (at least on the display).
