Re: Titlebar-less application question
I'm a little late on this but... Setting the style of the no-titlebar stack to modeless will also get it to show up in the taskbar. Provided you don't need to edit anything in the window you should be OK.

Titlebar-less application question
Hi all, I've created an application with no title bar, for WINXP (using Rev 2.8.1). I've added a handler for the user to drag the window/stack around - no problem. (thanx to this forum) Q1. But when I use the Alt-Tab to switch application, I do not see the application in the dialog of open applications. Anyone know what to do to get the application to appear in the list of open applications? Q2. I have a resize-button in the bottom right of the window/stack - which works great (thanx to this forum), but would also like to allow the user to mouse-over the edge of the window/stack and allow them to resize that way, with the dragging the mouse while down. The whole issue here is that I have removed the Title bar of the stack and now I have to do all this extra work for resizing. This is not a problem, just don't know how to approach this issue. Anyone with help on this?

Re: Titlebar-less application question
Hello Mark, The issue you are describing with Question #1 is the intended behavior, as a window with no decorations (title bar) is considered transient by Revolution. I originally felt this was a bug, and filed Report #3935 (http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=3935). It's now an enhancement request, and if you really want it implemented, you need to vote for it. What I'm hoping for is the following: set the taskBarButton of this stack to [true|false] But that won't happen unless more people vote for the enhancement. Regarding Question #2, it sounds like you want to make every window edge resizeable. The way I tacked the issue was to create 4 buttons for each window border that each resized the window side appropriately. Then I created 4 more buttons to fill in the corners so each corner resizes as a normal window would.

Re: Titlebar-less application question
Thanx for the update/how-to Derek. I've put my vote in. So I assume if this is added by RunRev, it will make the application appear on the taskbar and therefore appear in the list of applications using the Alt-Tab? After all, it appears in the Windows Task Manager as an exe. So it is a ligit process on Windows. I'll apply your suggestion with the buttons tonite and let you know how it went.

Re: Titlebar-less application question
Mark, Hopefully... I would suggest that you either add that to the enhancement request, or create a new one for such a feature (Ex: set the altTabVisible of this stack to [true|false]).

Re: Titlebar-less application question
What you can do is set put the title bar back on the window and set the windowShape to a graphic the size of the window. When a window's windowShape is set, you won't see the title bar, but it will now show up in the alt-tab list (and the task bar at the bottom). -- Peter T.

Re: Titlebar-less application question
This will work for windows that *don't* need to be resized. If you set the windowShape to a graphic and then resize the window, you will need to re-size the graphic dynamically and then re-set the windowShape. Basically you get a flashing window that resizes so poorly that you're better off sticking with Window's built in UI. Derek Bump Dreamscape Software http://www.dreamscapesoftware.com Peter T.

One workaround for this is to create a normal, toplevel window with the name of your app and make it the mainstack. Make your current stack a substack of this one. Put a script into the mainstack that goes to your current stack on every event that matters: openstack, resume, resumestack, etc. Place the mainstack somewhere offscreen. When your standalone opens, the mainstack with the correct name will be displayed in all the usual Windows places. But as soon as it opens, it will go to the substack, which is the one you want to display. The same will happen if you click the name in the taskbar; your mainstack will briefly come to the front (but offscreen) and as soon as it resumes, it will bring your substack to the front. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
