Hello!
I am trying to add multi touch ability to a VST PLUGIN by mapping its controls to Usine faders and buttons(midi).
I put the plugin in "control panel" (not standalone window). Now i try to cover its interface by panels and buttons while leaving some information areas uncovered. It works fine till program restart. All buttons and faders are now hidden by vst interface.
QUESTION: How to make elements be ALWAYS on top?

no, actually"don't work with VST interface"
works only for Usine interface objects.

I haven't tried this (and I don't have time to try right now), but maybe it will work if, when initializing the patch, you first set the Usine objects to Invisible, and then set them back to Control Panel.

If this works, you can add it to the patch either with connections or using IML. With connections, I guess you'd need to have a WaitOne or two before turning the objects back on, but with IML messages, I guess you can skip that part.
