PDF-XChange Editor Window 'Always on Top'

Post by lamensterms »

Hi,

I use a windows utility called MenuTools, which is designed to allow a selected program window to be displayed 'on top' of other windows.

MenuTools is quite good, but it doesn't work for all software. I haven't been able to get it to work for PDF-XChange Editor.

For example, here is how the tool is used for Notepad:

And here is how it looks for PDFXC:

It looks to me that PDFXC has replaced the Windows shell context menu with it's own native right-click context menu.

So.... I was wondering if there would be any way for me to get 'always on top' functionality with PDFXC? Could this be added as a new feature, or is it possible to restore the Windows shell context menu for PDFXC?

Thanks a lot for any help.

You can try to use [Shift]+"Right click" on the program's icon in the taskbar. This will show the native context menu (not only for PDF-XChange Editor). I guess there you could set the window to stay on top.

Thanks a lot for the reply BigMike, and for the tip!

That is a great work-around - just like you said, works great.

Thanks again!
