Although there may be many application windows (quote, news, graphs etc.) on the screen(s), there is always one and only one active window at any time. This does not mean that the other windows will not continue to update—all windows continuously update. The instructions you give to Aspen Graphics, whether through a menu or command, apply only to the active window.
When you add a new window to the screen, it automatically becomes the active window. The active window is differentiated from the other windows on the screen by its border. By default, the active window border is blue, but you can adjust the active border color in the Setup Options dialog. If you tile windows, the active window will always be in the foreground.
If the window you want to use is not active, you can make it active with the mouse or keyboard.
Mouse
Place the pointer within the window you want to select and click the left mouse key.
Keyboard
Press Tab to rotate through all the windows. Each time you press Tab, a new window becomes active.
Shift + Tab rotates through your windows in the opposite (counter-clockwise) direction.
