Button to Minimize the POS Window OR Show the Taskbar

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all

How would I go about adding a button to the taskpad that will either minimize the POS window and show the desktop/other windows, or show the taskbar? Presumably this can be done with a macro?

We use other applications on the POS PC other than just the POS program itself, so we need an easy way of switching to these.

I know it can be down with Windows Key + D or Alt + Tab, or even just by pressing the windows key, but I need a button that will do it.

Thanks in advance.

    If you have a keyboard,  Alt+Tab keys will which active windows.  

    Also you could set the POS to windowed mode.  CTRL-F6 in the pos.  This will show the screen display properties.  Under the first tab (Transaction Screen) , click the Window... button and check the "Show Resizable Border" box.  Click OK and then OK again to save all settings.

    Then you can use the normal minimize button.

    Perfect! That is exactly what I need. I didn't even realise it could run windowed. Thank you very much.

    When I press Ctrl F6, all of the display options in the window are greyed out.  There have been no security changes made that I know of.  What can I do to be able to change these screen settings, and turn on the Resizable border checkbox?
