I think you have to do some nasty stuff with your operating system. And by this I mean you have to load some hooks into your system(or target OS) and manipulate the ZOrder of the windows. This is quite tricky and depending on the purpose of the application it might be to much(installing a hook requires administrator privileges). Also you have to use unmanaged code (WinApi)
Now some helpful links to get you started for research

I think he wants to keep his app window deactivated but always on top.

1. To keep d app window deactivated when u start d app
I would find d last active window, then when I start my app activate last active window.

I dont know how to get d last active window (guys help!).

d alternative is to switch the focus to another application. D SetActiveWindow dll function can do that ...

2. To keep d app window always on top
I would set d form property TopMost to True.
