Z-order is altered by hold em manager HUD

[SuperSized]

The HM HUD seems to overly aggressive when it comes to the Windows z-order. I ran some tests this morning and ran just the poker tables, added a simple AHK GUI based script, added TableNinja and the Windows z-order is fine. The AHK GUI is set to always be on top. When I add the HM HUD, the z-order seems to get altered and the AHK GUI is forced below HM and several pokerstars windows.

I have also tried this with HM2 and got the same results. Is this just the way HM HUD works, or is it something to do with my PC?

lasttables = %numtables%

Sleep 1000

}

I just did some more experimenting and found that the z-order is altered when the HUD opens, but if I bring the AHK GUI to the top it seems to stay on top. I haven't tested this extensively, but I presume it would continue to stay on top.

So why does the AHK GUI get forced down when the HM HUD opens?

I have forwarded this question for level 2 support. We should respond again within 24 hours.

Just a reminder that I haven't received any feedback on this yet.
