I've been a .NET developer for several years now and this is still one of those things I don't know how to do properly. It's easy to hide a window from the taskbar via a property in both Windows Forms and WPF, but as far as I can tell, this doesn't guarantee (or necessarily even affect) it being hidden from the Alt-Tab dialog. I've seen ...
When writing DirectX applications, obviously it's desirable to support the user suspending the application via Alt-Tab in a way that's fast and error-free. What is the best set of practices for ensuring this? Things that need to be addressed include: The best methods of detecting when your application has been alt-tabbed out of and w...
In Windows Vista, when I press Alt+Tab, the application switcher overlay only shows on the primary monitor (the one with the task bar on it). Is there a way (via control panel, registry setting, third party tool, whatever) to have the overlay display on all monitors instead? ...

I want to display the service in action (chosen by the user) in the middle of the page in enlarged mode and rest of the services as small sized (shrunk)...
I've been having some trouble with one of my Delphi 2010 projects lately. It seems that sometimes, when I have a form open as a modal dialog, the app stops showing up in the ALT-TAB list until I close the dialog. It's still in the Taskbar, but not in ALT-TAB, which means I can't switch to it without using the mouse. Running under Wind...
(see edits) I'm developing a QT/c++ application under gnome. The application a main window and QListBox child window. Both of these windows show up as separate main windows when I alt-tab away from the application. How can I make it so that only one window is shown when I (or later the user) uses alt-tab? I am guessing this behav...
