That's because it has a Format Context, therefore does not need that option ckecked. > If my memory serves well, if the option was unchecked, the bar > used to remain visible, at the center of the screen in my case, > when there was no active FileDialog window. And I strongly believe > the latter should be the right behavior, otherwise what is the > use of this option? Your memory usually serves you well, but not on this occasion :) As long as you keep the "Format Context filedialog" item, it will disappear except when an Open/Save dialog is active. These are two completely separate things: [a] the "Hide caption position bars if no active window" checkbox affects all bars which have Caption position -- doesn't matter whether they have a Format Context item or not, they will disappear when there is no active window. [b] using Format Context always makes a bar disappear if the active window is not in the Caption List parameter of Format Context. -- doesn't matter whether the bar has Caption position or not; doesn't matter whether "Hide caption position bars if no active window" is checked or not. So you can use either [a] or [b] or both and your bar will hide. I think in Steve's case, he is using the default shell so his Desktop is made by explorer.exe. (You will get different results from Steve because you do not use the explorer.exe shell, if I remember correctly). If Steve does NOT set the "Hide caption position bars..." box AND he use's the Format Context item with parameter: =explorer then when there are no windows active, the desktop is active, which matches his caption list. I tested here by temporarily switching to the explorer shell. Even if some (not maximised) windows are open, if I click on the desktop then a bar with Format Context =explorer becomes visible, because the Desktop is "active" so it matches the caption list. If I click on any window which does not belong to explorer.exe, then the bar disappears. That is all correct behaviour. > (As fas as I can see, now this option makes a difference only > in one case: for a caption position bar with "Format Context > =explorer" when the (Explorer's) Desktop is the active one) By "this option" do you mean the checkbox ""Hide caption position bars if no active window" ? That makes a difference for ALL caption position bars, whether or not they have a Format Context item. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
