Setting all child windows (including parent) active??

Post by KlintonWoo »

Is there any way to set all the child windows and the parent to be on top and active at the same time??.. Its a pain in the ass especially when keyboard shortcuts are used when the current window changes.



Much Appreciated.

Only one window can have focus as at a time I think.

In an MDI interface (multiple document interface), the child windows should stay on top of the parent (unless you don't want them to...).

As Trond said, only one window can get the input focus at one time, but output can be directed to any or all of your windows. If you create them as 'always on top' windows then they will stay on top (not sure how to do this in PB, though...)
