Win2Front doc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
© Gérard Cornu
version 0.21
25-Sept-92
Win2Front is ©1992 Gérard Cornu, but freely redistributable. When
re-distributing don't forget to include this unmodified doc file.
And don't charge more tan the cost of an AmigaLib disk from Fred FISH.
This program cannot be used for commercial purposes, or included on
magazine's cover disks without the written permission of the author.
Peter Miles (see end of file) is obviously granted permission to include
it in any ICPUG Amiga library disk ;-).
Fred Fish of course, is also allowed to include it in its AmigaLibDisk
library.
Thierry Colin is allowed to include Win2front in the DPAT/DPAF collection.
What's that?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Win2Front as its name almost says it, brings any already opened window
to the front, from any screen.
How do I use it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be of any usefulness it has to be called from a hotkey, like with
the help of ToolManager. It is Pure and is better made resident in your
startup-sequence or user-startup.
If for example, you want a hotkey (combination) to bring your shell
window to the front, configure ToolManager by puting in the 'RealName'
string gadget:
'win2front shell'
The lack of a path suppose that 'win2front' has been made resident,
and if you are going to use win2front regularly, you should make it
resident.
The 'shell' argument means that you want win2front to bring to the
front the first instance of a window containing 'shell' in its name,
ie: 'AmigaShell', (it's not case sensitive)..
Then put in the 'hotkey' string gadget whatever the hotkey combination
you wish to bring that window to the front, ie: 'lalt f1'.
You can, of course, enter several instances of win2front, to bring all
your most often used applications to the front, from anywhere, at the
simple touch of a key ( or two!), instead of having to click several
times on all those front/back gadgets!.
Without any argument win2front brings a shell window to the front.
What does it do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once called by your hotkey(s), win2front looks at all opened intuition
screens in turn, in each screen it looks for a window with the first
argument you gave it, in its name. If it finds one it brings it to the
front (including the screen!!) and activate it. That's it!!
It is very 'system friendly' and shall work beyhond 2.04 ;-).
