select-previous-window

Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: nil

Finds the top-level window that is currently behind all other top-level windows, moves it in front of the other top-level windows, and moves the keyboard focus into it.

This function implements the View | Manage | Unbury menu-bar command in the IDE, but is also available as a Common Graphics function in a standalone application.

In the IDE, only the windows that are owned by the invisible development-main-window are eligible, and the one containing the Allegro menu-bar and toolbars is never eligible. (The backmost eligible window, if any, is the one that will be selected.)

See also select-next-window.

Common Graphics and IDE documentation is described in About Common Graphics and IDE documentation in cgide.htm.
