Tray symbol flashes when showing a "Loadingform" on WinXP

Post by Dorwol »

Hello,

my application has a "Loading Info Form" (Welcome/Nag-Screen ... same like in Word, Excel and so on...).

But if the user uses Windows XP, the Taskbar will blinking! :(

This problem occurs only with WindowsXP (no problems with Vista or Win7)!

Please see the attached M0vie and also the attached sample code for a better understanding.

Hi, Dorwol.

Thanks for your helpful demo of issue. We will to fix this issue in the next build. Please wait.
Currently, as workaround, to stop the flashing in taskbar, you may try to use the system's function FlashWindowEx with FLASHW_STOP flag...

Regards.

Hello Dorwol,

We do not have any release date info yet, and with the middle of February being just a week away I can't make any promises but will ask my colleagues if we can give you any more precise estimate.

Best,
Stefan
