ALT+TAB

[Wolfen12]

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to code the "Alt+tab" function into a application so that the forms(windows) switch between each other, but inside the application itself??

Or does someone have a similar idea

Thank you

Bad idea. Your application will work differently than all other Windows apps and frustruate users. Ctrl+Tab is what is designated as the Windows key to switch between windows in an app.

If your forms are top-level forms (ShowWindow=2), they'll appear in the task bar and be part of the Alt-Tab sequence.

If I understand you, you want to swtich between forms inside the VFP application? If so you will need to ensure that something, somewhere, is holding an object reference to all active forms (i.e. a "Form Manager" object).

Then all you have to d is have the currently active form call the Form Manager and tell it to activate the required form. You can probably find examples of Form Manager on line, but if not, I can send you one that I have used
