Labwindows 8.5 - Window minimize problem

[LuisG]

Gustavo,

I tried to reproduce that with a CVI app, but I couldn't. I also couldn't reproduce it with Ian's test app that he linked to above. Would it be possible for you to attach a test program that reproduces this?

Thanks,
Luis

Hi!

> I mapped one of the problems.
> If my CVI app is opened, and so, I click on Windows "Show Desktop" icon, my application does not maximize again. So I have to restart it.

I was just looking for this problem on the web and I found this thread. I have exactely the same situation. If I minimize my cvi app, I can maximize it back. If I click on "Show Desktop" or press the key "Windows-M", I can't maximize it again anymore.

I'm using cvi 8.0 (not 8.5) on WinXP. As far as I remember, I didn't have the problem while using cvi 5.5 on Win2000.

I will try to create a more simple test application, our main cvi application is quite huge.

I am also trying to do an application thar reproduces the same behaviour. But, it seems that in simple app, it works.

The one, that the problems appears, has a lot of panel, subpanels and tabs.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Gustavo,

I won't be able to be of much help at this point, unless you or Yves can attach something that reproduces the problem. I don't doubt that the problem occurs, but it's almost impossible for us to debug it without being able to reproduce it.

But we are actively working on the minimization behavior (in order to fix the symptom that Ian described earlier, which we can reproduce). So, it's possible that in fixing that problem, something might become apparent with regards to this problem also.

By the way, if you really can't reproduce the problem with a small application, and you don't mind submitting your full application for us to reproduce the problem, I'm okay with that. It's up to you. There's an ftp server that you can use, if you wish.

Luis,

I think I found the problem. You can try to reproduce.

You should create an application that has some tabs. This application should also has many panels (mine has 5). When you load dynamically the panels you should pass as a parameter the parent panel handle, use 0 to do it.

So, start your application, and click on "show desktop" icon, when you try to restore your cvi app, you will see the problem.

Gustavo,

I created a simple project with 6 panels, each with one tab control (see attachment) and I couldn't reproduce the problem. Can you please try running it and see if you see the problem with it? If you don't, would you mind attaching your program that does reproduce it?

Thanks,
Luis
