Unable to bring GPWindowToBack

Scripting with Gig Performer
1

I started using MobileSheets recently, and that works like a charm. As i have limited screen “real estate”, I want to be able to bring the GP Window to the back.

I’m using both functions GPWindowToFront() and GPWindowToBack().

To front works fine, but GPWindowToBack() does not seem to work, at least not on Windows. Has anyone tried this before ?

How do you trigger this functions to be executed?

Hi Paul, I’m using the following script (in the Gig Script), which I have been using for years for the ChordProWindow:

// Show ChordPro Window
On NoteEvent(m : NoteMessage) from Arturia_IN2

if IsNoteOn(m) and (GetNoteNumber(m)==86) then //86 -> Transport Loop Button on Arturia Keylab MK2
  if (Chrd_State==False) then
     //ShowChordProWindow(true)
     GPWindowToBack()
     Chrd_State = true
     Print("Show Chords")
  else
     //ShowChordProWindow(false)
     GPWindowToFront()
     Chrd_State = false
     Print("Hide Chords")
  end
else
  InjectMidiEventViaRigManager(Arturia_IN2,m)
end

Hi All, I’m curious if someone has tried this, and has experienced the same problem, or not. Maybe its something related to my computer.

I tried it on my MacBook Pro and it didn’t work for me.

Just to verify, WindowToFront worked for you, but WindowToBack does not. Like in my case. Or both did not work ?

ToFront worked, ToBack did not.

btw. I kinda always had the same issue with the ShowChordProWindow(true/false). I’m able to bring it to front / view it (true), but was never able to bring it back again (false), instead of that I always used GPWindowTo Front()
