Taskbar unhide

Newbie · Post by **Newbie** » 2004-11-16 20:50

I recently downloaded this (great) software, and so far it is the only thing I have found that suits my needs. However, the one major problem I encountered was that my taskbars use the "auto hide" option, so the viewer cannot see the taskbar without hitting the start menu button, and even then it is partially hidden.

Is it possible for you to include support for hidden taskbars, or a taskbar unhide option?

Hi,

You can change the setting by going to the Taskbar properties and selecting always show icon.

Code: Select all

right-click on the systray clock
select Properties.  From the Taskbar tab, 
you'll see "Hide Inactve Icons".  It's OK to put a checkmark in that.  
But click on the "Customize..." button, and you'll have more options.  
Find WinVNC in the list, and set it to "always show".

I case on of the programming team pick up on this one, you can keep the icon displayed by changing the hint every so often, it should be fairly easy to add a routine that adds/removes a space to the hint on a timer of about every 20Mins.

Hi,

Just an Update.. I tried the changing the Notifaction Area Icon Hint and........ it does not work

however I have found that if you change the icon index to -1 and then back to the correct icon index then everything is fine and the icon stays alive.

I have done this in Delphi, and not sure if you can also do this in C ( I should of thuoght so).

i think the orginal poster wanted his start bar to be fixed, not the system tray part of it.
(i think that because he says hitting start shows it. therefor it shouldnt be the sys tray.)

... not that i have a fix for this problem. (just dont auto-hide ;p)
