selectWindow() getting hidden

[Adam Hacking]

Hi,
 
I have a situation where I need to wait for input from the user, but I need the threshold window to remain in front of a bunch of windows. When the waitForUser() is called the Threshold moves back. If I don't wait the program skips by the threshold entry. I don't want to add a wait, but is there some loop I can add that waits until input from the user ?
 
Thanks
 
Adam
 
  selectWindow("Threshold");
  

 // Allow user to tweak threshold
   title = "Verify Correct Metal Threshold";
   msg = "Metal should be completely red. Click \"APPLY\" on Threshold window then \"OK\" on this window to proceed";
   waitForUser(title, msg);

Hi Adam,

a strange phenomenon - I do not understand why the Threshold panel  
moves to the back when moving the "wait for user" window.

Unless someone else finds a solution to these puzzles, you could use  
the Wait_For_User plugin, which does not keep the "wait" dialog in  
the foreground.
