How do you do it with a "msgbox", i.e. keep it always on top? It is still a "figure" and not a "uifigure".
When I try to set 'WindowStyle' as 'alwaysontop', I get error:
>> fig_id = msgbox('test');
>> set(fig_id,'WindowStyle','alwaysontop')
Error using matlab.ui.Figure/set
Functionality not supported with figures created with the figure function.

What I suggested only works within MATLAB. I don't know how to extend it to any window, wait for someone else to answer.
Sorry I couldn't help.

Similar to Jan's suggestion, you can always do the window management with ... your window management tools. Jan's recommendation works in Windows. The following works in Linux.
Attached is a simple function that will set the specified window to be on top. This relies on the use of wmctrl, so you need to have that installed. This works for msgbox windows, regular figure windows, and uifigure windows..
hmb = msgbox('test');
hflg = figure(6);
hfui = uifigure(1);
windowontop(hmb)
windowontop(hflg)
windowontop(hfui)
Of course, you can set other window properties the same way.

I have no idea, why this is failing, if the demo runs correctly. I've published a new version, which does do no magic tricks anymore to support old Matlab version (HG1, <= R2014b). Now only one C-mex function is compiled. Please try it again with the new version.

Hi, I want to inform whoever incounters this challage using MATLAB's App Designer, there's a great solution written by Igor Varfolomeev, from my experiance it works great in MATLAB 2018b and 2019b:
Cheers, and thank you Igor!
