Detect when user minimizes application

There is no function to deter$$anonymous$$e this, since that's strictly a Windows problem (Something similar exists on $$anonymous$$ac, but it's a little different, and you can never "$$anonymous$$imize" a webplayer game). You would need to write a C++ plugin (Which requires Unity Pro) in order to detect when the application window has lost focus (either through alt+tab or some other means).

It's not a web-player game, it's a stand-alone application. Unity has a built in function that when focus is taken off the game it automatically pauses it or leaves it running if I wish, I was hoping I could simply alter this function to do as i wish above.

See: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Application-runInBackground.html

Yes, I know about that function, but you can't access how it deter$$anonymous$$es if the game is in the background or not, nor can you just... change what it does (APIs don't work like that). Like I said, you need to write a C++ plugin if you want to deter$$anonymous$$e when your game has lost focus or not.

$$anonymous$$aybe there are differences what functions (Events, Updates, ...) are called in the last frame the application has focus? $$anonymous$$aybe coroutines aren't paused the same way as the normal execution loop? Here is the calling order: http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=2719 ... Just some thoughts, I haven't tried it out.

I'm wondering if I can manipulate the auto-mated pause to try and get the game to detect when it's been paused, and have it un-pause and open the desired menu ins$$anonymous$$d. I'll fiddle with this myself and if either solution is plausible, I'll post my findings.
