I already have browser window which is running on background. I want to show that window on top of the screen When i call a function. But my initial window should be on background. if i use alwaysontop : true keeps my window always visible.

// my initial window 
var electron = require('electron');
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width:265,height:420,resizable:false,alwaysOnTop:false,frame:false})

ipcMain.on('showontop', function (event) {
 //it doesn't work
  mainWindow({alwaysOnTop:false});
})

function showwin()
{
ipcMain.on('showontop', function (event) {
 //it doesn't work
  mainWindow({alwaysOnTop:false});
})
}

<button onclick="showwin();"> Click </button>

I want to show my window on top when click event occurs, simply make it by mainwin.setalwaysOnTop(true);

// in electron 

mainwindow.setalwaysontop("true"); 
// once show then it leaves from top when click outside
settimeout(funtion()
{
  mainwindow.setalwaysontop("false");
},1000)
