I suggest you try using the task switch hardware plugin. Then for every task you have running, create a multigroup that disables groups for all tasks and enables the relevant one (eg ZoomPlayer). Then click learn event for that multigroup and bring the relevant task to the foreground.

I've been busting my head on this for 2 days and I've finally reached the cry for help stage. I've read all the docs and at least 100 different posting but am really stuck.

What I'm trying to do is to process different groups depending on what the foreground application is. I've went through a bunch of different methods and from all the reading I thought this would be the best method:

Group: CheckForeground
Command: Zoom-IsForeground. Execute "Is Foreground" for "Zoom Player". If true goto group ZoomPlayer. If false goto next command.
<additional commands like the first one but checking for different applications>
Command: Stop Processing. I've tried both the command StopProcessing and doing a GOTO to the very end of the rules.
NOTE: All these commands are inverted with no Event String bound to them. This seems to be the way to get a command to run for every event string but I haven't found any info on that.

Group: ZoomPlayer
<multiple commands bound to keypress> These work fine.
Command: StopProcessing. Tried both StopProcessing and a jump to a group at the end.

<Additional Groups like group ZoomPlayer>

Group: MyStopProcessing
This is a jump point for the Stop Processing rules earlier.

From everything that I've read I don't see why I can't just have all the groups enabled and have the Goto's control the behaivor. Unfortunately what happens is that EVERY group is being executed and I have no idea how to stop that.

So, does anybody have any suggestion that I can try? I'm out of ideas.

Thank you,

Thanks Mike. Unfortunately the taskswitcher plugin works poorly on WinXP with both Zoom Player and PowerDivx in full-screen mode. It only works maybe 60% or 70% of the time when the apps close. It also detects a "Task switch" everytime the window resizes (although this doesn't interfere too bad, it just makes it messy).
