Hi Malcolm Problem is occurring on XP and Windows 7. Don't have any Vista machines so can't test on them. Set-up some users both as standard and as administrators, problem still there. Problem still there with no other apps running but yet to try with AV etc disabled. I have noticed that if I open a form then the object has the pattern or text from that form placed on it.
I have some early backups of the main form with much less work done and I can also modify the example code from Arg-Software to see if the problem occurs there. It may take some time to isolate this as there is quite a lot of code in the main.prg setting up the screen etc so I will need to turn of everything that prevents the screen from displaying at start-up. I am busy completing more important things in the application at the moment. Standard Windows Theme with Themes on in application. Have noticed a problem with Windows 7 which maybe is there with Vista. The Splash screen is created with a number of timers making various part of the Splash disappears with time to give a feeling that the Splash is gradually fading. It uses the GDI plus code to skin the form and only display various part of it. That is not Working on windows 7, The whole form is displayed and the timers don't appear to do anything. It works OK on XP machines where VFP has not been installed. VFP has been installed on one of the Windows 7 machines. I have created a Video of the application but it is quite large at 364 meg. I can upload to my website if anyone wants to view but be aware that it is not finished and the sound track is poor (Need to get my wife to do the speech) She would do it so much better. I will try converting it from "AVI" to "Flash" and see if that helps with the size. Cheers Peter Peter Hart Computers On behalf of Malcolm Greene 16th August 2009 Peter, Does the strange object show up on the application desktop of other workstations or just yours? Does the strange object show up when run from another user account on your workstation? XP or Vista? Standard Windows theme of custom theme? Any other software running in the background? I would try to isolate the environments which cause the strange object to appear. Then I would try turning off as many 3rd party background tasks as possible (virus checking, etc) to determine if the object's appearance is caused by a 3rd party application or your own? Screenshot looks great!! :) Cheers, Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/a57fa4cf19531343a2ee11b57db8e3af04c...@server.peterhartcomputers.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
