Problem You have set up a process in the background. When F3 is pressed, you would like to view the progress of the background process. Press F3 again, the background process is hidden again, as shown below.
Solution
Sample Code Note: If you have installed php-gtk2 using Gnope Installer on Windows, and if running the sample code below gives you warning that the Symbolic names for keys (e.g. Gdk::KEY_Return) is not defined, you might want to update your php-gtk2 with the latest php-gtk2.dll available here. Simply download the php-gtk2.dll and replace the copy in the folder php-gtk2\ext. The latest compilation has put in the Symbolic names for keys listed here.
