Strange behaviour of Open dialog in full screen mode

Post by anovy »

Hi,
I noticed a strange behaviour of your Open dialog (with preview feature) under full screen mode. After openning a file with this dialog, then the next call of this dialog does not show it. The dialog is probably opened, but it is covered by the main (full screen) window. Then any mouse click switches between the Open dialog and main window, however the Open dialog is unusable and it is not activated (its title bar is always gray). The only thing which works in the Open dialog is the close button. After closing the dialog, then the next call to it works OK. But if I open file, then the next opening has already this strange behaviour (and so on).

However this occurs only in SDI mode. In MDI mode all works OK.

First I thought that I do something bad in my full screen mode. So I tested also your PDF-XChange viewer application and I found here, that in SDI mode and under full screen mode you are canceling the full screen mode after opening a new file. If the viewer is in MDI mode, then you do not cancel the full screen mode after file opening. This seems that you know about this strange behaviour in the full screen and SDI mode and you solve it by canceling the full screen mode after file open. Is it true?

Hi, anovy.

Please specify: Can this strange behavior be reproduced in the End-User application or in our ActiveX SDK as well?
You cannot use the full-screen mode through our ActiveX, you should implement this mode manually...

If you have implemented your own full-screen mode, please send me a sample test project so I can reproduce add fix this issue (because I cannot reproduce it on my own at this moment).
So I tested also your PDF-XChange viewer application and I found here, that in SDI mode and under full screen mode you are canceling the full screen mode after opening a new file
This issue will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks.

Hi Vasyl,
So far I'm using only your evaluation ActiveX SDK under my own application. The full screen mode is implemented on my side.

Is it enough to send you my already compiled application which you can then test with your debug version of your ActiveX control? Extracting a working sample source code from my project would be very complicated task for me.

In either case if your PDF-XChange viewer application will work normally in full screen mode with SDI mode, then I will know, that the problem is probably on my side. When this new release will be available?

Sure, you can send your compiled application. Please archive it before send. Thanks.

Can I send it to you support e-mail address? I don't want to publish it here, it should be for your internal use only.

In etiher case I will first wait for your new release.

Either a PM directly to Vasyl, or support@pdf-xchange.com will work anovy,

I will make sure Vasyl gets the files if you send them via e-mail.

Best,
Stefan
