Displaying Multiiple Windows
I am trying to research how the Windows OS handles the displaying of several
windows on a common desktop. For example, when I have multiple windows open, there is only one window that can be "up front" - the one that actually receives the input from my keyboard. When I choose another window, using my mouse or switching between active windows using the ALT+TAB & ALT+SHFT+TAB key sequence, how does the OS segregate the various boundaries between all the windows it displays? Is there a set of rules, or heirarchy, that easily defines this process? I'm not a programmer - just someone curious how this really works. |

Displaying Multiiple Windows
It all depends on how well you explain it... and I am sure I can get someone
to translate it for me... give me a chance - I'm just trying to better understand this so that I can apply this capability to another application. PwaQ |
