In the OS X Lion system, the original Exposé function has been replaced with Mission control (task controls), but this does not mean that some of the very useful features of the previous Exposé have disappeared. For example, the "Three point down" application Exposé is retained in the Lion, and you can turn this feature on the System Preferences "->" touch pad "->" more gestures.
But usually when you use this feature you will find that it is only valid for the current application, such as you are now in Safari browser, using "three finger down gesture" will only be on the screen to list all the Safari windows, then there is a way to do without switching to other applications, List the Windows for other inactive applications? Of course:
Move the mouse pointer over the Dock bar, point to an application, and then use the "three-finger down gesture" to list all the windows of the application (in fact, the same effect can be achieved with a four-point drop gesture).
Another way to achieve the same effect is to point the mouse pointer at an application in the Dock bar, and then "two fingers touch pad two times", or you can list all the windows of the application you are referring to. If your Mac doesn't have a touchpad (some older Mac), you can do the same with the Control+↓ method.
