Hello,

Is it posible to call task manager in games or other full screen programs where all HW buttons are reassigned to them?
I have tryed to assign task manager to HW key in Windows settings, but it doesnt work in games etc. Only thing that woks almost every time was HTC Cube from Touch FLO v2, but it was more bad than good (because sliding up is quite common move in games) and I am not using HTC Cube at all now.

So is there any way (by long press of any button for example or special touch move), any program or any task manager where such thing is possible and works in every (or most of) game and full screen program?

Any help will be great,
thanks.

Why do you need to reach the task manager from the games?

Because some programs running in full sreen (and not necessarily games) stop responding, dont have exit button, hang-up... and I cant escape them other than soft-reseting the device.

So I need something how to reach task manager from these stucked programs and close them without reseting.
Also sometimes could be handy, if I can minimize them and switch to other program (SMS, music player etc.) and than go back. But still most important is the first thing.

Every program except the games can be minimized whith the red button... but I don't know if the WM6 can handle hung programs as a normal desktop OS... even if it comes around it's still faster to do a soft-reset (in most cases)...

Yeah I am talking about programs where red button is remaped or not working at all.
So there is no possibility how to close such apps without SR?

not really... unless some1 knows otherwise...
Yes, it a Multi-Task device, but don't expect it to handle crashed apps like the desktop versions of Windows..
