Is there a way to have a dialog window always be on top of all other windows open within 3ds Max?

Also is there a way to cycle through windows open within 3ds Max similiar to Alt+tab is used with windows?

i am finding it too .

when open several max script dialogs , if i minimized the 3dsmax , all max script dialog will be hided . or if u just want switch in the 3dsmax enviroment , there has not any keyboard shortcut , so i have to use my mouse to duble_click , click ,click ,....

wish have some keyboard shortcuts like alt+tab for cycle the max script dialogs .

but i think this will be done by the developer of max. about the sub thread of 3dsmax.

Figured out best way to cheat this by simply making dialog box a modal. By doing this disables everything except the current dialog box open. Also added nifty bit which allows dialog box to popup directly over button user just clicked on.

mousepos = mouse.screenpos
