ALT/TAB program
« on: August 21, 2006, 01:11:48 PM »
Hello, I need some advice on where to start to create a program or purchase a program where the computer switches between 2 programs that are running or a machine. One program is a browser based ticker and another is a call center program.

This is for a call center that has a computer with two 50 in plazma displays. We want to be able to cycle at an interval between the two programs. Should be cool.

 Could'nt a msdos program run and cycle alt/tab every 20 seconds?

Any help would be great!

    Not sure about how to do that, but maybe you can put each program on a different monitor?

    Any decent macro program could do this for you.  They can be tricky to learn, but the one I use is >AutoHotKey<.  It's extremely versatile.  Try asking the same question on their forum.

    Thank you! That sofware looks promising.
