Can a dialog box be put on top of ALL windows (not just other LabVIEW panels)?

I am writing a small LabVIEW app that monitors the output tetxt file of a Dektak profilometer.  When it finds that the file date has changed it writes the new data to our database.  The Dektak's software runs maximized, the LabVIEW minimized.  Now we need to insert operator input before the DB write (lot # and operator name).  I have used a pop-up data entry panel and made it modal, but it only appears over other LV panels.  I want it to pop up over the active Dektak window so the operator doesn't forget.  Can it be did?

Make it topmost using NI's Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4935
