| 4989 views |

        Taken from the 'appswitch' module <a href=http://pymbian.sourceforge.net/misc/appswitch-v0.20051019.zip>here</a>

import appswitch
print appswitch.switch_to_fg(u"Menu")

Updated (19 Oct 05)
==================
Now it can
- listing running applications
- switching them to foreground/background
- closing/killing apps

# listing
apps = appswitch.application_list(True) # true = include all
                                       # false = no hidden apps 
print apps

# to background and closing
print appswitch.switch_to_bg(u"TODO")
print appswitch.end_app(u"TODO")

This might be a newbie question, I'm trying to get this working on Windows, and I keep getting a Cos "no module named appsswitch " I try dropping the package into my base_py folder, as well as sites-lib, I don't however have the e32 module is not a required dependency? Or is that just for using this on a Nokia\New-Line thanks
