I am working on simple slideshow with backdrop in background. Beacuse I want it to be kiosk like app, I am using hideTaskbar in preopenstack which works fine. Navigation uses left/right arrowkeys which works ok too...
Problem is that when I go to other app by using atl+tab and then return to my slideshow the taskbar is not hidden an I need to click within the window in order to get arrowkeys to work...
Is it possible to hide taskbar and get the focus on return to rev app using alt+tab?

Thanks

Hi Srdjan,

That looks like Revolution bug. Until it has been fixed, you should be able to hide the taskbar in a resume handler.

Code: Select all

on resume
  hide taskbar
end resume

I don't know what's wrong with the arrow keys in your programme. Perhaps the text cursor is in a field when you resume the standalone?

Best,

Mark

I am already using on resume handler in my mainstack with the same command(hide taskbar).

There is on rawKeyUp handler which switches images backward/forward (using arrowkeys) in the same mainstack too.

When I use alt+tab to switch back to revolution app it doesnt hide taskbar - but if I do it again then it hides it. It looks that I need to do it twice.
Plus, the app loses its focus because I am forced to click within its area in order to enable arrowkeys again...
I just want to be sure that I've tried everything before I post it as a bug...
