Unable to minimise Group

from Stardock Forums

Have just installed Group v 1.20 onto my Windows 10 Pro Machine.

Whilst I'm able to minimise group of save Excel or Word, the main reason for installing the app is failing.

I'm unable to minimise a group of Visual Basic 6 IDE's.  This is a development machine, and I usually have 4-5 different VB6 projects open at once. 

When I minimise one of the projects within the group, rather than the group being minimised, the selected project gets minimised, and then I click on the minimised project, it doesn't auto add back into the group.

 

Thanks

 

Lee.

Unfortunately the Visual Basic 6 IDE is 19 years old and isn't even officially able to install on 64 bit Windows 10.  It does things a little 'differently' probably as leftovers from its 16 bit days.

For example you may notice when you minimize it you see solid black paint where the window shadows would be briefly.

We are looking into this report though as by pure chance VB6 was on my dev box and hopefully future versions may support it better.  That said be aware that Groupy 1.21 which is due for release very soon may not allow VB6 to group at all so you may want to stick with 1.2 until we update this thread saying a release addresses this.

Currently we can fix the minimize issue and the extra taskbar buttons that get created when you switch tabs, but there is a problem with switching between tabs from the taskbar when one is minimized.  It may be that the way it works simply makes it incompatible with grouping though, it really is an unusual app.
