Bring All to Front

This appears under the "Window" menu in most applications. What does it do?
Thanks,
Paul

That way if you press Command+tab multiple times it will switch between the last two applications.
Yes, Command+Tab switching will always bounce you between the last two programs used, but it doesn't explain how some apps behave. I always see things like this when using QuickBooks Pro for Mac.
I usually have about 6-8 different windows open for QB. Say I then call up the calculator. I do whatever there and then click on a QB window I can see. You would think then that QB is in the foreground since I can then work in that program. But the calculator will be sandwiched between that QB window with the rest of the windows belonging to QB behind the calculator. Only when I Command+Tab to QB or click on QB's Dock icon will the calculator actually go behind all of the QB windows, making QB the actual foreground app.
That is a bit of nitpicking since QB must be the foreground app to be using it regardless of where the calculator is layered. It's just annoying that entire apps won't come to the foreground like they did in OS 9 and earlier. It does seem to make a difference too how a program will come forward in OS X if they are a Cocoa app or not.

  • What is "bring all to front"

    Under the Window menu is the item "bring all to front" and I have no idea what that means.  I thought it meant to get current windows shown but so far nothing happens when I click on that option.  ??????????????

    For the application showing in the upper left-hand corner, selecting that option brings all of its open windows to the front or on top of any other app's open windows.

  • Method to bring component to front?

    Hey all
    I am looking for a method that can be used to bring a component to front in my applet. I have a few choice menus that arent showing up and i believe it is because labels are being drawn over them.
    The choice menus do not show up at all normally, but they appear just fine if I
    setVisible(false) to the labels.
    It has always been my understanding that components will show up in the order they are added to the applet. So if the labels are added first, then the menu second - the menu should be on top. However my applet also requires a lot of setVisible(true/false) and I am not sure if that is affecting the layering also. Would setting a component as visible automatically bring it to front, or would it remain where it has been added?
    SO, if there is a bring to front method kicking around that would definately solve my problem.
    thanks for the help.

    If possible could you post your compilable code that simulate your
    problem or in short your SSCCE.

  • How to bring all columns in a single/first page in report painter

    Hi Experts,
    There are 9 columns in a report painter which includes 1 lead column.
    7 columns comes in a first page including lead column and rest 2 columns goes to second page. This report is copied from another report where all columns comes in a first page only. if the original report comes in one page then why not the new report.
    Please suggest how to bring all columns in a single/first page in the new report.
    Please revert if I'm confused anywhere.
    Thanks in advance
    Arabinda

    Hi Rajneesh,
    Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
    Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
    Pls suggest.
    Thanx,
    Arabinda

  • [AIR] May I catch "bring window to front" event?

    Hi,
    I wonder who is responsible for bringing windows to front when user click on that window (application contains more Windows components inside). Is it operating system or AIR runtime? Or perhaps AIR runtime send event to operating system which does it? In this case there would be some chance to catch and stop propagation of that event not to let operating system bring that window to front. Am I right? Any idea how to do it?

  • How do I bring components to front?

    Does anybody know, if I have overlapping components like JLabels, how can I choose which one to bring to the front?
    In other words, if I have two overlapping JLabels, how can I choose which one gets seen.

    I don't know if you can do this programmatically with one call (like the WinAPI setWindowPos and specify the z order and appropriate flag).
    Swing components are displayed in the order they are added to the container, with the first component being the top most.

  • Automator: Bring Window to Front

    I have been looking for a workflow that can bring a non-active window into active view e.g. bring a window that is in the background to the front view.
    There is no workflow in automator for this action but i wondered if anyone has come across some apple script that is capable of doing this? I could work the apple script into automator.
    Thanks,
    Adrian

    The window i am trying to bring to the front is called 'WorkflowServiceRunner'. Its not an application in the available list in Launch Application action.

  • Bring text to front of image

    how do i bring text to front of image using dream
    weaver?

    You would set the image as a background image- that would be
    a possible
    option. Please remember that the text will not stay static
    and will shift
    when a viewer resizes the text.
    You cannot lose until you give up !!!

  • How to bring a VI front panel to the front (of all open windows) when the parent VI calls a sub-VI in Test Stand.

    In Test Stand when I call a sub-VI front panel, the pop-up window goes behind all the windows and the user just waits for the screen. I want the pop-up to come to the front so that the user can know what to do. I couldn't find any property that I can set which would make the called VI go to the front.

    What version of TestStand are you using? Here are the TestStand palettes in LabVIEW for TestStand 2.0 and 3.1. You can also set a VI to be modal in  VI Properties>Window Appearance. Select Dialog or go to Cutomize and change the Window Behavior.

  • Bring All App Windows to Front Setting (?!)

    Please tell me I changed a setting somewhere and this can be fixed.
    If I have twenty windows open - and I want to get back into my two pages documents - what is supposed to happen when I click on the Pages app icon in the dock?
    The only information I know at the moment is that I /know/ Pages is open because I see the little spotlight under it in the dock. I can also see the TOOLBAR PULLDOWNS for Pages.
    HOWEVER, there are no minimized icons on the right hand side of my dock for these OPEN DOCUMENTS. Which I understand because they are not minimized I guess...
    Is this a problem in terms of how the OS is set up? Is there a setting somewhere that will clear it up?
    Why don't my two open documents automatically pop to the front? And how on God's Green Earth am I supposed to know they are there if they don't identify themselves somehow?
    Thanks for anything constructive on this.
    - Jon

    AFAIK, when you click on the window's yellow minimize button, the minimized window reverts to a Dock icon. I use Unsanity/s WindowShade X prefpane, which changes the app's Window->Minimize behavior. You'll just have to experiment.

  • Bringing event to front in iCal

    Going to try a slightly different question to the one I posted yesterday.
    If i want to bring an iCal event to the front because it is hidden behind another how do I do this?  Click on it right and it should come to the front?  Since upgrading to Lion this no longer happens.  Any help as to why and how to get over this issue would be very much apppreciated.

    Perhaps my original post wasn't as clear as I thought it was.
    I am running several calendars so that I can see what my colleagues are doing and what is going on at home and there are often events that take place at the same time or overlap times.  In iCal 4.0 I used to be able to click an event that was "under" another from a different calendar and it would come to the front along with all the other events of that calendar.  This no longer happens with iCal in Lion making it very difficult to see events hidden behind others.  I'm sure I can't be only one running more than one calendar in iCal with the potential for overlapping events? 
    My question is: Is this somehting that Apple have changed (if so I am really @£$% about it) or do I have a problem with my set up?  I have already re-installed Lion once to see that helps but no such luck.
