Window Order
This directive manipulates the visible order of
windows on your desktop. Normally when you click on a window it
jumps to the top of the pile. This directive can immediately bring
a window to the top or send it to the bottom of the window order.
The format of the directive is:
[WindowOrder(position)]
The position parameter may either be "top" or "bottom",
which sends the specified window to the top or bottom of the window
order respectively. If you need to move a
window belonging to another application, you must first change the
target window using the SetTargetWnd() directive.
There are 3 reasons to use this directive. Firstly you can pop
a window belonging to another application to the front. For example,
if you often save a document in Word then copy it to another folder
in Windows Explorer a gesture using this directive can automatically
pop the Explorer window to the front, ready for you to do whatever
copying you want.
Second you can use it to pop the window the gesture was made in
to the front. Remember that Mime gestures can be made over any window,
not just the active window at the top of the window order.
Third, you can use it to pop the window to the back. Without using
this directive the only way to move the window to the back of the
window order is by clicking on all the other windows.
Example
To send the window to the bottom of the window order:
[WindowOrder(bottom)]
To send the window to the top of the window order:
[WindowOrder(top)]
