Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

Hi Hugh, OK, I see what your'e saying now. Actually, this isn't iOS, just Mac/Windows/Linux. I do plan on entering a QCC report on this but I have to say I'm less and less motivated to enter QCC reports since I don't see any evidence that anyone at RunRev ever looks at them. Pete lcSQL Software

Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

Hi Peter, My suggestion was for a consistent title display irrespective of text size, but the only consistent title available is blank (visually by using a space) until a bug fix is implemented. On Windows, a modeless window has no title, but I appreciate that this is iOS with different expectatio

Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

Hi Hugh, Not sure I'm understanding that. I have a title for the stack but it's not being displayed when it should so setting the title to space would have the same effect I think? Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 9:09 PM, FlexibleLearning < ad...@flexiblelearn

Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

Coming in late on this thread, Peter, but would setting the 'title' of the stack to SPACE resolve the problem until a fix is available? Hugh Senior FLCo -- Original message On Jul 11, 2012, at 2:35 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Ken - you nailed it, thank you so much > > I had the text size se

Ken - you nailed it, thank you so much I had the text size set to medium (125%). I changed it to small (100%), re-logged in and the title appeared. Just to be double sure, I went back to medium text size and the title disappeared again. I will be sure to mention this problem somewhere in th

Thanks Richard. I tried Flight Recorder but it didn't show any messages at all, except ENDRECORDING, which seems a little strange. Maybe it doesn't see messages from plugins? Looks like a very useful tool in general though. Pete lcSQL Software On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 11

Hi Skip, All of the windows in this stack have blank title bars, but as mentioned, only if the stack is loaded as a plugin from the LC Plugins folder. Loaded from anywhere else, the title bars are fine. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 7:04 PM, Magicgate Softwa

Re: Modeless screens on Windows

OK, I have a diagnosis for this but not a fix. If I open this stack from the plugins folder, the title bar is blank (except for the close button). If I move it out of the plugins folder then open it, the title bar contains what it should. Having said that, I have no idea how to fix it! Pete lcS

OK, outnumbered 2 to 1! It's not just one stack either. The main plugin screen opens a couple of other windows and they don't have titles either. If one of you would be willing, I can send you the stack so you can see what's happening… Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jul 1

You're right Ken, that does show a title. Not sure what I'm doing differently, other than the stack is in the plugins folder. The same stack has a title just fine on my Mac. Pete lcSQL Software On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 4:48 PM, Ken Ray wrote: > > On Jul 10, 2012, at 5

I'll bet not. You might have to roll your own, but from the description of what a modeless stack is, it might not be worth it. Bob On Jul 10, 2012, at 3:12 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > Modeless Screens have a window title on Mac but not, it seems, on Windows > Vista. Any way round that? > Pete
