How about this one?

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 400, 250, "Anti Minimize", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)

Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()

If GetWindowState(0) = #PB_Window_Minimize
Delay(2000)
SetWindowState(0, #PB_Window_Normal) 
EndIf

Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

@Arctic Fox
Thank you for your posting

I am waiting for sparki or srod to come with a good solution
by intercepting the taskbar call

With Taskbar minimize all, do you mean Win+D or Win+M (you're right - it will not work here

)

I would not try to change this because if there is command named "Show Desktop" and i want to use it now, i would expect that next thing that happens after i click on "Show Desktop" would be to actually show my desktop, not some application window which is hiding my wallpaper. This would be anoying to some people.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't do that...
This is like that you want in your app to detect when user click maximize button and then you actually minimize application. "Maximize" should stay "maximize" and "show desktop" should stay "show desktop".
You are breaking some rules...

And for KCC asking how to detect if exe is unicode... It is different case because that is like when you want to get file size --> both actions are fully transparent to users who use your apps and you aren't breaking anything.

That's my opinion on this topic.

He's posting a tip. That's not breaking any rules.

Who uses it how is beyond his control.

Nice tip. Thanks for posting.

cheers

@cas
I respect your point of view
But what is done is done
That should be posted to the original topic from the start ,the author must have some good reasons for that
I hope

have a good day

Sorry for misunderstanding but i was not saying that posting a tip is breaking rules, i said that altering system commands is breaking some rules.

It is nice from him to post this tip but the way i see this tip is only for educational purposes to better understand how windows works under the hood because minimizing one window and minimizing all windows with "Show Desktop" are two different things because we see that code posted in previous thread is working if only main app window is minimized but fails with "Show Desktop".

I downloaded many applications from Internet and i saw many weird events when i used some of them and neither one of those weird-coded applications didn't stayed on my PC, i uninstalled it immediately and went to find another for same purpose.
Every professionally designed application should be created that way to bypass this need to always show window on desktop... Maybe use systray icon... so that way user has always access to application, even after "Show Desktop".

For every one
Most of the tips are breaking some rules
PureBasic compiler is breaking rules
Look at any copiled file and tell me is there any resources cat.
No
That is not MS rules,
Am I right ?
For you cas I said I am sorry
For rsts I said you are welcome

and that is enough

Good day every one
