Title Body

I'm mapping events coming from an external sensor (e.g. a keypad) to keyboard shortcuts and I would like to switch applications using the Fast switch overlay window ( i.e. Alt - Tab menu"), but I want to keep showing the switch menu until an application is chosen. Basically, what am I doing is this : if(notInSwitchMenu) { // Alt-Tab keystroke, but Alt remains pressed : the menu is still visible Press(VK_MENU); Press(VK_TAB); Release(VK_TAB); } else { if(event1) //Tab keystroke : next app { Press(VK_TAB); Release(VK_TAB) ; } else if(event2) //Shift-Tab keystroke : previous app { Press(VK_SHIFT); Press(VK_TAB); Release(VK_TAB); Release(VK_SHIFT) } else if(event3) // we get out of the menu : the selected app has the focus. { Release(VK_MENU); } } The Press and Release simply call SendInput with the right properties. My problem is that I don't know a robust method to determine if the user is currently in the Alt - Tab program list. Do anyone know how to identify the Alt-Tab overlay menu with the Win32 API ?
