Way to scroll through active windows?

[Orbit]

ok, so I just got TB up and running - what a great program!

I fly mostly MSFS and in playing around with things, realized the touch screen is just about the right size for the default GPS, which works great by touch. My original idea was to use a screen shot of the GPS in TB to control the on screen window GPS, but I really like having the interactive touch screen.

I can drag the GPS over to the touch screen and have TB in a seperate window, but I can't seem to alternate between the two. Is there a simple way to do this? Even better would be a way to put the ACTIVE GPS window as a tabbed screen on TB, but since I figure that would just complicate things, simply being able to run TB and easily flip between active windows (on the 8" touch monitor) would be great.

anyone else try this? I definitely have the TouchBug.

Which version of MSFS are you running?

You could use a Screenshot of the MSFS GPS window and use it to create a TB Tab.

To make a TB tab for the GPS, you could take a screenshot of the GPS in the game, and paste it in MS Paint. Save it Then use that as a background and then create buttons to send for the GPS functions.

No, you can't alternate between the two probably. TB is designed to not receive the Windows active focus. That just means you can't click on it or Alt-Tab to it, or make it the Active Window.

I'm using FS9 - hopefully will have the hardware to switch to FSX in a few months.

Yeah, I was planning on going the screen shot route - it's just so cool to have a functional touch device. Kinda makes me want to run out and get a full size screen to nix the mouse all together...no....must.....resist.......

Thanks - I wouldn't be here without the great support and enthusiasm found in these forums. And of course, without TB in the first place!
