Open one instance each of Internet Explorer, Control Panel and trueSpace 7.5.


Go to the taskbar at the bottom (default) of the screen.


With about a one second interval between clicks, "LEFT CLICK" four times on Internet Explorer's taskbar button while observing its behavior.


Do the same thing with Control Panel's taskbar button, and observe its behavior as well.


This behavior is typical of most every Windows program.


Do the same thing with tS7.5's taskbar button and observe its behavior.


Could we please have just one more line of code or two for the taskbar button left-click, to toggle a call between the same "minimize" and "restore" functions that are called when right-clicking and selecting "minimize" and "restore" from the context menu...since they're already there - just for workflow's sake?


Thanks in advance. :) Caligari ROCKS!!!

and while you're at it, "WindowsKey+M" which should minimise everything - guess which is the only program that gets left behind.

Wow! Theres a nice shortcut I hadn't tried before - thanks. The mouse really isn't a replacement for the good old-fashioned keyboard, is it? ;)


Maybe if the taskbar button gets addressed, perhaps it would fix the windowkey shortcut at the same time, too...so long as it triggers the left click fuctionality - I hadn't known to test it so I can't yet say. I'd bet a buck or two that it might.
