VAL_MAXIMIZE under XP Pro

[kris11]

Hi,
I experience some troubles with the function SetPanelAttribute (panelHandle, ATTR_WINDOW_ZOOM, VAL_MAXIMIZE)under Windows XP Pro. The window doesn't fit into the whole screen as it did normally under Win 2K or Win NT4. Instead, the windows overlap the taskbar ! Furthermore, when I use, while my software is running, the window "Maximize" button, vert. and hor. scroll bars appears. Seems to be bad informations comming from XP system concerning the displayable area ?
Thank you in advance, and Happy New Year !
Chris

Chris,

I've been doing some tests here, however I haven't been able to reproduce the problem; could you post the UI that is giving you this problem? I'm also running WinXP pro.

Another idea here is to run this application in another computer to see if the problem is specific to that machine; if this is the case, then it may be good to upgrade the video driver on that computer; this may correct some of this issues.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Juan,
the problem is the same whatever the computer I use. Yesterday, I try to turn WinXP to the "classical desktop", and then the UI window fits into the screen. The main difference is that the taskbar is thicker with the "XP destop", and perhaps this involves the mismatch. If you say that there is no known issue about this topic, I will go back in my source code (it is an "old" software that was running on Win95, NT...) to investigate more precisely.

Regards

Chris
