OpenCV window always on top

Question

Is there a way to set a OpenCV window to be always on top? And can i remove the minimize and close button from my window? Thank you.

Answer 1

I found that all I needed to do was set my main window to fullscreen then back to normal.

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    import cv2
    import numpy

    WindowName="Main View"
    view_window = cv2.namedWindow(WindowName,cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)

    # These two lines will force your "Main View" window to be on top with focus.
    cv2.setWindowProperty(WindowName,cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN,cv2.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)
    cv2.setWindowProperty(WindowName,cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN,cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL)

    # The rest of this does not matter. This would be the rest of your program.
    # This just shows an image so that you can see that this example works.
    img = numpy.zeros((400,400,3), numpy.uint8)
    for x in range(0,401,100):
        for y in range(0,401,100):
            cv2.line(img,(x,0),(0,y),(128,128,254),1)
            cv2.line(img,(x,399),(0,y),(254,128,128),1)
            cv2.line(img,(399,y),(x,399),(128,254,128),1)
            cv2.line(img,(399,y),(x,0),(254,254,254),1)
    cv2.imshow(WindowName, img)
    cv2.waitKey(0)
    cv2.destroyWindow(WindowName)
