Re: XRaiseWindow for activating windows in multiwindow mode
I am a bit late but I will be happy to test this version of XWin. Could you give me a patched binary version please ? Regards, 2011/9/4 Oliver Schmidt oschmidt-mailingli...@gmx.de It's me again ;-) On 9/3/2011 9:01 PM, Jon TURNEY wrote: As discussed in the thread [2] various scenarios, e.g. AOT windows, native windows interleaved with X windows in the native Z order, Windows with focus-follows-mouse enabled via TweakUI all need testing after trying to fix this, to ensure you haven't regressed them. [2] http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00540.html I'm not sure if I'm correctly reproducing the above usage scenario always on top, but I did the following under Windows 7 and XP: 1) downloaded and installed http://www.abstractpath.com/powermenu/ 2) launched a xclock or a native Windows program (e.g. Internet Explorer) and select Always on top with right mouse click on the window's titel bar 3) programmatically launched and raised other x top level windows 4) Everything works: the checked windows stay top level, the programmatically raised windows became top level amongst all other non always top level windows and get keyboard focus and activated window frame. I was also able to minimize and restore the always on top window without any problems. Moreover the redraw windows while moving and sizing hack http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2011-08/msg00049.html does also work with the always on top feature enabled for the foreground and background window. Also mixtures of cygwin x server windows with native Windows applications all with always on top feature enabled are working. What is not working: Clicking on minimize to tray on a cygwin x server window that has also the always on top feature: this causes the window frame to vanish, but the window content is still redrawn by the xserver on the underlaying x11 window. This is difficult to describe, but this does also not work with the official unpatched cygwin x server 1.10.3-1. This minimize-to-tray effect for always on top windows is also described here: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00540.html So according to my tests the patch does not introduce new misbehaviour regarding powermenu's always on top window feature. I could provide a patched binary XWin.exe, if someone wants to do more testing...
