StockEagle Switching between StockEagle and other Windows
Programs
Many times you might want to switch between StockEagle and other programs
like RealTick or your charting programs etc. without closing or minimizing the program.
Microsoft Windows offers a great way to switch between taks:
- Press the "Alt" key and KEEP PRESSING IT (for example with your left thumb)
- shortly tap on the "Tab" key above the "shift" key (for example with
your left middle finder).
- you will see a list of all the programs currenlty running showing the icons of each
"task"
- shortly tap again and again on the "Tab" key until the program you want to
switch to
has the blue box around it
- Once you found the program you want to switch to LET GO OF THE ALT KEY
- Windows will now bring this program to the foreground.
If the program is currently busy (i.e. when RIM is running the day close)
it will not immediatelly show itself! In that case click on the minimuze button
of all the other programs until the busy program appears and you can see the most
recent message that program shows (RIMs day close processing progress)
Another way to switch is also to click on the program icon shows on the very bottom of
the screen.
