Bringing a Livecode Application to the Front

[Nonsanity]

I've got an interesting in-house need that would normally go against good human interface guidelines.

I have a Livecode application that sits in the background behind other applications (on Windows in this case) that is constantly polling for a particular keystroke combination. When that happens, it starts working on something. What I'd also like it to do is make itself the topmost application. I haven't been able to find any way to do this yet.

I tried setting the systemwindow of the stack to true and then to false (because I don't want it to STAY the topmost) but that just makes it flicker into and out of the topmost position. The go to command only works within the application's windows.

I need to make it act as if the application window was clicked on or the application was selected from the task bar. This can be a Windows-only solution if it must be.
