I launch a program from an EU menu program (one I wrote) and the 2nd program creates a window in which to run and display stuff in the status bar as it runs . The problem I have is that if I session away (click to another program on the task bar), I can never get back to the window. It does not show up on the task bar... here's the window.. what have I done wrong.... display = create(Window,pgmNm & " - " & pgmTitle, 0,sx,sy,sw,sh,{WS_CAPTION,WS_POPUP}) george

Derek, here's the statements which launch the 2nd program from the first.. temp = system_exec ("exw.exe "&subIndex[i]&".exw",2) if temp!= 0 then temp = message_box("Execution error - program not found","",0) george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Parnell" <ddparnell at bigpond.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: more window help > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "George Walters" <gwalters at sc.rr.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 6:30 AM > Subject: more window help > > > > I launch a program from an EU menu program (one I wrote) and the 2nd program > > creates a window in which to run and display stuff in the status bar as it > > runs .

Well, this morning this 2nd window does show up on the task bar, so there apparently is no real problem with this. A reboot apparently fixed the problem...I now remember that I was having some problem with blank taskbar items I thought was caused by our font bug. Perhaps it also can lose the button as well. george ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Walters" <gwalters at sc.rr.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: more window help > > > Derek, here's the statements which launch the 2nd program from the first.. > > temp = system_exec ("exw.exe "&subIndex[i]&".exw",2) > if temp!= 0 then > temp = message_box("Execution error - program not > found","",0) > > george > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Derek Parnell" <ddparnell at bigpond.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 5:48 PM > Subject: Re: more window help > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "George Walters" <gwalters at sc.rr.com> > > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > > Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 6:30 AM > > Subject: more window help > > > > > > > I launch a program from an EU menu program (one I wrote) and the 2nd > program > > > creates a window in which to run and display stuff in the status bar as > it > > > runs .

That is a "feature" of the Win 9x family. I get it occassionally, even when never running a win32lib app since booting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Walters" <gwalters at sc.rr.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: more window help > > > Al, the button on the task bar has no text or icon on it. it's a button > that's completelyl blank..and of course the one that was missing althgether. > > george > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Al Getz" <Xaxo at aol.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 10:40 AM > Subject: RE: more window help > > > > George Walters wrote: > > > > > > > > > Well, this morning this 2nd window does show up on the task bar, so > > > there > > > apparently is no real problem with this.
