Anti Minimize Window

@RASHAD
You don't understand what i'm trying to say.
If PB compiler is breaking some rules when creating exe, it is not important because end user won't notice this (it will be same for user if exe is compiled in PB or Visual Studio because exe will run as expected and will not harm system) but it will be irritating if user use "Show Desktop" and then he don't see it.

You still don't understand, of course "Show Desktop" works normal, as usual.
But with this code it will be broken in some way.

cas - I understand.

But it's a TIP, not necessarily a recommendation or even suggestion.

If I include it in a program, maybe people won't use my program, but that is UP TO ME, not the forum police.

cheers

I know that you understand, but RASHAD don't.

I said that before, and i appreciate it as tip.

Your whole post sounds to me like i have done something terrible when posting in this topic... but i only wanted to help.

cas.

You are very helpful and a great contributor. I appreciate the help you offer in the forums.

My concern was that Rashad would feel attacked for making the post and thus be reluctant to post further tips. As long as his tips aren't promoting malware, (which would kind of be the opposite of this tip), I want to encourage further posting.

By BOTH of you.

cheers

@rsts
I posted @ 38 posts let us say 15 are acting
In each post from 2 to 5 new tips
5 of them are majors 15 are minors
Which let me feel that I did what is enough for the next 2 years
Go back to my posts
Boys you do not read between lines
cas are attacking me alright but it does not matter
I will slow down

bye

I'm not attacking you. Just discussing on topic subject. Please don't be offended, that were not my intentions. I'm grateful for your code snippet.

I'm not native english speaker so i probably made some grammatical mistakes and because of that i was not clear.

@cas
When I post "Anchor the first column in ListIconGadget" that was my second
post in my whole life and you was there to help
so I was preparing myself to do Load and Run DLL from memory for
you ,myself and the others
Right now I am so depressed
It will take time to heel
After all I am Str.Engineer not a Programmer
Beside you are now a Corporal I am still a Private
I salute you

Please don't be. This is all one big misunderstanding.
I want to help, too, like you do.

Tested on XP...

Sparkie, testing on Win7 RC your code is preventing all open windows from minimizing in response to 'Show Desktop'. Is it intended?

rsts · Post by **rsts** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:50 pm

Hmm - on mine everything minimizes as normal - including sparkie's window

cheers
