Bring a background window forward

Question

Hello,
I have another project that sends the Labview window to minimize.  Then when a PLC process completes, a bit is read, and the labview window opens and a dialog box asks if a printout completes.  My question is that the bringing  window to the front part of my program is very unreliable, especially if one or more windows have been activated/opened and worked on.  How can I make that function more robust?

Hah! Don't I wish!
 Well, I kind of stripped the vi down to the basic parts in question.  So a report is generated that reads filename entered into a directory.  That report then gets printed and the dialog box should pop up to the front - asking if the report printed correctly.  How do I get more control over the popup dialog box?  If the Report Txt Gen MOD.vi is used as the dialog, by calling it as a subVI, that vi would become the active window (with some vi call tweaks)?
The VI I uploaded is configured to show itself when called and close itself afterwards. If you place it in the block diagram of a VI and run the higher level VI you will see this. What kind of control are you looking for?
