Take a look:
c# - How to make a window always stay on top in .Net? - Stack Overflow[^]

Form.TopMost will work unless the other program is creating topmost windows.

There is no way to create a window that is not covered by new topmost windows of another process. Raymond Chen explained why.

I'm not absolutely sure if I understand you correctly but setting your form's

C#

TopMost = true;

should place it on top of all normal forms.
