Hi Pritpal, After just a quick test (BCC -mt mode), I'm getting a "truncated" window when choosing "dialog one". Now background updates seem to be better, but there is a great amount of redraw flicker on some of the control (the icons at the bottom) on the background window, while moving another window in front of it, and there are visible some white spots (rects) not refreshed [Update: I couldn't repeat this for a second time, because I forgot how I got there]. One of the dialog windows (open new dialog, resize, press ESC), was scaled like a bitmap. BTW, the bottom icons are flickering just by moving across the GET controls with a TAB.
It's generally very confusing to know where an ESC should be used to navigate, or rather the mouse, and it's still very difficult to know if a menu will open a new windows, or just modify the current one. All these break the usuall GUI paradigm which I'd expect from such app. F.e. you can only move out from the One/Two/Three.. box with ESC, not with mouse or TAB. There are other windows however, when ESC doesn't work and you have to click OK. The icons at the bottom also either work or not, I couldn't find the logic, or any hint based on their color (green = inactive?). This overall causes there I'm never sure "where am I" in the menu, how to get there, how did I get there, and how to exit from there. This explains why it's so difficult to report a problem in a repeatable way. I've also accidentally closed the app like 5 times. Resize looks quite strange to me now, and AFAIR we've been there once already. Now while resizing, the borders with various size are remaining visible while you move your mouse (while the window content is flickering due to refresh, but it doesn't change the size, just the position below the menu, if there is a menu), which first of all give a non-interactive feel to it (like with "visible while resize/move" Windows setting turned off), plus looks quite unfinished. [ So I'd opt to stay with current resize behavior for GTWVT. ] Most ActiveX windows don't work here, and it's not possible to close those. (IE and DHTML works, the rest don't, I don't have Excel, so that one is alright, albeit this should IMO be handled more gracefully.) Overall the refresh looks now indeed better, with some price paid by extra flickering. Brgds, Viktor On 2008.11.16., at 9:05, Pritpal Bedi wrote:
