Alexander Shargi #2 / 5	Start Min not showing when running from Today Plugin How do you run your app? And is it possible that the app is not just run but is just brought to foreground since it was run before? -- Sincerely, Alexander http://www.RSDN.ru - Russian Software Developer Network Quote: > Hi All, > I wrote a today plug-in and everytime i run an application by clicking on > the plug-in, it doesn't show the title or the smart min buton on top of the > screen, it keeps showing the start button. > anyone knows why is that? > Thanks > Mustafa

Mustafa Rabi #3 / 5	Start Min not showing when running from Today Plugin 1) that's the code i use to start the app from the today plug-in case WM_LBUTTONUP: CreateProcess(TEXT("\\Windows\\testapp.exe"), NULL, NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,&sProc); if(WaitForSingleObject(sProc.hProcess, INFINITE) == WAIT_FAILED) { } else { CloseHandle(sProc.hProcess); CloseHandle(sProc.hThread); } 2) No i made sure that the app is not running and checked it via the remote process viewer to make sure. My Application creates a window (as usual for all the apps) upon starting and in the WM_CREATE of my WndProc I CreateDialog, which is the main dialog of my application. When i run the application from the start menu or File Explorer the button is shown, when i run it from the plug-in (as shown above) the smart min button is not shown.

Mustafa Rabi #4 / 5	Start Min not showing when running from Today Plugin Just tried lots of other applications, iexplore, file explorer, solitare, everything acts the same way, The application starts and the Top Navigation bar still showing the Today Screen Title ("Start <Time>") and no X button or app title.

Mustafa Rabi #5 / 5	Start Min not showing when running from Today Plugin The problem turns out to be in the WaitForSingleObject(). If i added it the title bar doesn't show up if i remove it the process runs perfectly. What might the problem be? if (!::CreateProcess(TEXT(\\Windows\\TestApp.exe), NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &sProc)) { return FALSE; Quote: } if(WaitForSingleObject(sProc.hProcess, INFINITE) == WAIT_FAILED) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Error"), TEXT("INFO"), MB_OK \| MB_SETFOREGROUND); } else { CloseHandle(sProc.hProcess); CloseHandle(sProc.hThread); } 1) I need to wait on the application till it's done so that i can gather info from it... so what can a work around be? 2) One more question, if i try to do any kind of processing, like getting value from the registry while processing WM_TODAYCUSTOM_QUERYREFRESHCACHE in the today dll it usually acts very strange, y is that or i am not suppose to process anything here except the resize of the window? thx Quote: > How do you run your app?
