Why won't my GUI window actually appear in this circumstance?

Mbee · December 4, 2016

I've developed a GUI app which works perfectly with its partner app under the most typical scenario, but when it's run after it's partner app is already running in the system tray, it's GUI window absolutely refuses to appear on the screen no matter what I try programmatically! Instead, it just appears as if it's been minimized, and I have to actually click on it in the task bar in order to get it to show on the screen.

I've attached a screen shot to help explain what I mean...

"My GUI App" is show in the task bar (NOT the system tray) as if it was minimized. It does NOT show on the screen. The related (third-party) app that my app is controlling is shown in the system tray, indicating it is already running. (Ignore the small icon for my app that's also in the system tray). The GUI window refuses to show on the screen until I click where the left arrow is pointing.

Here's the code I've tried to display the GUI window on the screen rather than in the task bar:

GUISetState( @SW_SHOW, $My_GUI )
WinActivate( $My_GUI )
GUISetState( BitOR(@SW_SHOW, @SW_MAXIMIZE, @SW_RESTORE, @SW_ENABLE), $My_GUI )

None of this works -- manual intervention is required: the user must click the icon in the task bar, which is completely unacceptable.

What else can I do?

Thanks!

Hi, Melba!!

Sorry, it's almost 3000 lines long, and I'd prefer not to publish it. Even if I did, to test it you'd need to pay at least $130 and wait for the order to arrive, then install special hardware and third-party drivers and application software, or it wouldn't work anyway.

I don't suppose there's anything else you might suggest?

spudw2k · December 6, 2016

The point(s) where you added the WinActivate and other attempts, have you validated that those lines are actually executing (say, by throwing a msgbox before or after the func call)? Is there another way to validate that your script is loaded and running while it is in this "minimized" state?

Got any WinWait* funcs in your script?

I'd prefer not to publish it

Any chance of posting enough code to make a reproducer script? It's very difficult to troubleshoot something we can't see or touch.

Hello again, all. I apologize for the delay, but I've had too many other things on my plate...

I've done my best to show as much of my code that's related to my problem as possible, but although it passes the syntax checking, it will NOT actually run. As I said above, there's absolutely no way to post code that will run for you without your substantial financial investment in buying special hardware, etc. I can only hope that the following is enough to allow you to see what I'm doing wrong. Here goes!

Not seeing anything obvious...


#include "MyApp.isf"                            ; Create and populate the Main GUI. Sets $G_MyApp_GUI

I wonder if there is something going on with the Global declaration. Can you verify the value of $G_MyApp_GUI before GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $G_MyApp_GUI)? I'm assuming it's correct since you say you can see the icon in the task bar.

Can you share some of the code the creates the GUI?

GUICtrlSetFont(-1,12,400,0,"Candara")
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Exits both this app and RECentral too")
Global $G_OpenFolderButtonCtl = GUICtrlCreateButton("Open Folder",500,214,100,30,-1,-1)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"_MyCtrlHdlr_OpenFolder")
GUICtrlSetFont(-1,12,400,2,"Candara")
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Opens the folder containing the recorded files")

Let me know if you find anything that I should change or test.

Defining $WS_MINIMIZE in the GUI style sets the GUI to start minimized. Try removing that.

Good catch! I don't know why that's there, but I'll remove it, try it, and report back. Thanks!!

@spudw2k, you are a god! Removing that stupid, mistaken setting seems to have completely fixed my problem!!

I can't thank you enough! If you hadn't have asked to see that .isf file, who knows if I would have ever figured it out!

HOORAY for you!!

Good deal. Glad you're up and running. Keep up the scripting.

Why won't my GUI window actually appear in this circumstance?
