I have a couple weird issues that just popped up. For a while now I've used the CS_DROPSHADOW effect for my main form. It looked pretty cool in XP and my form had a drop shadow. Then for some reason this suddenly stopped working??? I finally found out it was because the shadows under menus were turned off???
Weird why a menu option would effect windows and my cursor shadow still worked, but while researching this I noticed that CS_DBLCLKS is unchecked in my form design, but still making it in the generated code. Could be others that sneak in too, just letting you know.
While we are on this, does it hurt to have the class use CS_DROPSHADOW if it will run on Win9x? Some of the new Window and Window EX styles are missing too which would be a nice addition...don't know how they will create problems when ran on Win9x though.
Hi Roger,
I remember that when you sent me a sample project of yours that I could not get it to run. The problem was that the CS_DROPSHADOW style was set. That style caused the program to fail on my Win2K machine.
I was afraid of that. No one said anything about it on my WebServer App I posted, so I took the flag off and re-uploaded the app to my webpage, maybe more people will have luck with it now.
Sorry - I should have mentioned it at the time. I kind of stumbled on the answer as I was playing with your project....
Playing huh? You'd have even more fun with it now. It is a lot more complete. I fixed a lot of problems with it since then too. And some that it didn't even have at the time because the functionality was missing. You only get that copy though :P
