Old description:
There are 2 '''private''' API functions that Deskbar uses to show and
hide all windows of a running application:
The 2 private functions are:
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 80%"
They are declared in headers/private/interface/WindowInfo.h and
implemented in InterfaceDefs.cpp
{{{#!c++
do_minimize_team(...);
do_bring_to_front_team(...);
}}}
}}}
I would be nice if these could be exposed as public APIs in BRoster
(which already has the related public function):
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 100%"
{{{#!c++
status_t ActivateApp(team_id team) const;
}}}
}}}
(The problem with ActivateApp() is that if the application is currently
hidden, this method will not un-hide it).
It was proposed as a start that we create 2 new '''public''' functions in
BRoster:
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 100%"
{{{#!c++
status_t HideTeam(team_id team);
status_t BringTeamToFront(team_id team);
}}}
}}}
