Any way to Send PWB to the back, setting foccus to other app

Post by BryanDearlove »

Good Day!

Heres the scenario: I am Running PWB in kisk mode, with some applications able to run off the toolbar. The problem is, if a user runs word for example, then minimizes it, they cant get back top word as PWB is in KIOSK and cannot be minimized. Does anyone know a way to have PWB be the back application, so all other apps running will be in teh foreground? Has anyone run into this?

Thank you very much for any help!

Trying to keep an application in the background presents a problem as Windows expects the window with the focus to be in the foreground. It is possible to set child windows always on top. I will look into having the PWB parent windows "always on bottom".

Hi Scott,

Thank you very much! We are rolling this out very successfully to 100 users, eventually to around 300. Works gret except for this little issue!

Has there been any progress made to adding "always on bottom"?

I've tried KioskMode, DesktopMode, and running as the Shell, but programs can still fall to the background.

This feature would make PWB 10X more usefull to me. Thanks.

The Always on bottom was included in PWB v2.05 currently on the download page.
