Codeblocks on Windows not in taskbar
« on: March 16, 2007, 12:45:50 pm »
Almost always, when I launch Codeblocks and then go and do something else until it is fully loaded, I find that Codeblocks will not show up in the taskbar when it is done loading. When I shift-tab to it, it comes to the foreground and only then does it appear in the taskbar.

I always thought it might be my XP being a bit messed up after having been used extensively, but I reinstalled last week and the behaviour has not changed.

I have the same thing in all builds I have tried. Running Windows XP.

I think it is an wxWidgets issue, but I am not sure. I am also on Win XP SP2.

I can, unfortunately. Try the following:
Make sure you have flushed all memory buffers of previous C::B in memory... ;-). Open a browser, navigate to your favorite page. Start copying a huge file in two separate copy processes to another disk (high traffic, slowdown of computer). Then open C::B (just C::B, nothing else)
When launch is issued -> ALT+TAB to the browser and continue browsing the web...
This way I can reproduce, but: Surely it leaves no roam for debugging whats-o-ever... :-(
With regards, Morten.

I would blame Windows on that one. I've seen that problem with Code::Blocks many times, but I remember seeing it with many other applications too, not necessarily using wxWidgets. I've also seen applications that while still running disappear from the taskbar, and they were just there a few seconds ago... but you change to that application again and it's back in the taskbar. It seems to happen when you're opening and closing windows while you're also switching from a window to another.
I must say it's even more common with Code::Blocks, but I really wonder if we can do anything to solve it.

This might be part of the problem. At least the doc's suggest it might be..
