Set an external EXE as TopMost

Question

How would you set a program to become the topmost application using Process.Start or something along those lines

Any help would be appreciated!

you need to make it TopMost application or you need to set focus temporarily to another application? — nawfal, Oct 28 '12 at 19:13
Nothing close to "Process.Start or something along those lines". An EXE is never top-most, a window is. It requires pinvoke, SetWindowPos() with HWND_TOPMOST. Finding the correct window handle is the typical problem. — Hans Passant, Oct 28 '12 at 19:16

After starting the proccess, I would start by getting the window handle of that process

Then, I would use SetWindowPos to set it to be the topmost

Notice that this requires using PInvoke. The 3 links should point you in the right direction.
