Create new window overlaying virtual keyboard
#1
I am working on a service for my own convenience mostly but which might be of interest to anyone sick of using their remote to type into the virtual keyboard. But I have hit a problem.

The service detects when the virtualkeyboard appears and then reads a file on my NAS with a bunch of strings. The idea is to open a new window over the keyboard which allows me to select a string as input.

Problem is, the new window appears behind the keyboard.

Is there a way to force it to the top?

*one month bump*

This service is for people who use the Raspberry Pi (which only has 2 USB ports) and so often cant hook up a keyboard. And even when they can, the usb ports cant hot plug so they are forced to restart in order to use it.

OK, could I set the zorder of the DialogSelect.xml to 999 to have it on top of everything? But wouldnt that require my addon to have a custom select window?

I cant see any way to change the settings in the window header via python. Is there one?
