ObjectDock Plus and Visual Basic

October 21, 2009 12:50 PM from

I have just purchased OD+ and discovered the following. If I have Visual Basic 6 running, and its window is covering the area of the screen where I have a dock set to autohide at the bottom of the screen, then the dock never appears when I move the mouse over that area. The same happens when I run a Visual Basic application.

If I move/size the VB window such that it covers the while height of the screen, but only half the width, then moving the mouse over the half covered by the window does not launch the dock, moving it over the other half does.

So it looks like the VB window is somehow not passing on the mouse move messages to OD+ to handle.

Is this a known bug, and is there anything I can do to get around it?

Have you tried using "Reserve edge of screen" in OD Config,Positioning Tab? (on the bottom)

Thanks but that would reserve a lot of space when I just want the dock to popup like it does with all other programmes.

Ah, this seems to be a problem entirely caused by something else running on my machine! Should be easy to track it down and fix it, since it appears to be a program that I wrote myself
