Help organizing & placing windows

Thank you, I know how to kill a process (Win2K here, so I use Task Manager). Why doesn't the app show itself? Just curious.

Sorry, I saw you were scared of ghosts so I thought it's better to give details :bg

Kinda creepy to have a process running that's a ghost ...

Re the why: I stole the app from Xandaz, and he uses a Windows XP manifest. Try commenting out the manifest in rsrc.rc:

Code Select Expand

//IDR_XPMANIFEST1 MANIFEST "xpmanifest.xml"

But I don't want those "advantages". I don't want the band to be resizeable, or moveable, or configurable. I just want a place to park some additional controls.

RBBS_FIXEDSIZE The band can't be sized. With this style, the sizing grip is not displayed on the band

Thanks. I've got that bookmarked and will experiment with it.

Did you try?

Well, I remade the program but it made no difference. Commented out that manifest line like you told me to, assembled & linked, still no visible window nor appearance in the taskbar.

That's the limit of my patience and my curiosity concerning this. Life's too damn short ...

You are using Win2K, that's a bit ancient. With a debugger, one could find out where it fails...
