Sadly, the default popup is a sort of internal frame (you can notice it has a different border than the confirm popup). It doesn’t seem to be a real popup, but just some sort of floating component inside the screen that always stays on top.

Perhaps you can try to create a genuine Windows popup like explained here: [Single Vision Client on Multiple Monitors](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/single-vision-client-on-multiple-monitors/7746/6?u=sanderd17)

Then it should be possible to set the JFrame always on top as explained here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/297938/always-on-top-windows-with-java](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/297938/always-on-top-windows-with-java)

Though it’s still very much a hack (as further comments explain)
