Display background foreground

Hi there is a way to handle displays bg/fg?
I'm writing an application where there is a main display in fullscreen and some other smaller displays that may appear over the main display and then may disappear after done something.
Actually I solved the problem moving the displays out of the screen, but this may be ugly using multiple monitors.
The hide command does minimising of the display an it is not what I want.
The best solution would be to have the possibility to handle the fore/background of the displays.
May be it exists and I do not know it
I'm using Hollywood 9

Thanks

Hi!
Sorry but using AcivateDisplay() to put display in top of current display and CloseDisplay() to close(but not erase) dont works?

It seems you are right. I was focused on hide instruction and forgot about that.

You don't forget a little problem with the new displays using buttons, for example in the main window opening a new window or display with a graphic button, this graphic button cans showed in the new display, with a ugly visual effect.

Let's hope...I 'm crowded of buttons on all the displays. But so far everything is showed correctly
