Solution 1

Depending on the needs you would normally would use the parameters MB_TOPMOST, MB_SYSTEMMODAL or MB_TASKMODAL with the

MsgBox

win api method.

But another solution for this is given here in an article to keep the message box on top:
TopMost MessageBox[^]

Good luck!

TopMost MessageBox,
Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.

I think you need to specify the correct MessageBoxOptions to make that work. Have a look here:

// Create a host form that is a TopMost window which will be the
// parent of the MessageBox.
Form topmostForm = new Form();
// We do not want anyone to see this window so position it off the
// visible screen and make it as small as possible
topmostForm.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1, 1);
topmostForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = SystemInformation.VirtualScreen;
topmostForm.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(rect.Bottom + 10,
