[vwnc] Vista support in vw 7.6

There have been earlier discussions on this, especially regarding the admin support (temporarily elevating user rights) for example to install or modify a registry key.

My question is: is Vista supported in 7.6? If yes, to what extent? If not: is there info on how and when?

[vwnc] Trap Window Minimize Event

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if the following is possible: I need to know if a given window is being minimized by the user clicking in the minimize button of said window. Is this possible? I tried checking for “redButtonReleasedEvent” (and others) but I couldn’t get it to work so far. Any ideas?

Just to be clear, this is the button whose release event I am trying to “catch”:

TIA,

Roberto

Vista is supported in the sense that it runs on Vista, and if there are problems, you can contact support. We have not added utilities for Vista-specific operations like that in 7.6.

Re: [vwnc] Vista support in vw 7.6

When I try to run vwnt.exe as administrator, I get an error saying "the parameter is incorrect".

Are you trying to start the image from a directory you can't write to?

Re: [vwnc] Vista support in vw 7.6

I was, but the problem persists after making the image and bin directories writable.

In reply to this post by Roberto Fonseca

Hi Roberto,

Check out senders of these methods for some examples:

sendWindowEvents:

windowEvent: anEvent from: aWindow

Look for #expand/#collapse event types.

HTH,

Stewart

In reply to this post by Rob Vens-2

Does not make any difference - later in the thread mention is made of Unicode issues, did you read that James? Although I do not have Unicode characters in my login name. Can't get VisualWorks to run under elevated admin rights under Vista, this is becoming a real issue. I am trying to find an escape route for my apps to run under Vista.

What if you try to use "visual" instead?
