Some progress dialogs are resizable under Windows 7

[ts4242]

Windows 7 has new shortcuts to resize a window e.g. Win+Left and Win+Right

Some progress dialogs are resizable when pressing such shortcuts e.g. Pack, Unpack, Copy

Also these dialogs can be resized by double click on top or bottom window edge when the cursor show the vertical resize icon

What is this? A bug report that windows functionality works? Or that it doesn't?

Those dialogs are *not* resizable but still with Win+left/right they get resized.

I saw thick resizeable border (WS_THICKFRAME style) on some dialogs that TC doesn't allow to resize (e.g. copy and move progress dialog) - I think reason in this border. When I remove this style using window management tool, Windows doesn't allow to resize window using Win+Left/Right anymore.

TC has to use the thick (resizable) frame in the copy dialogs, because otherwise minimizing doesn't work correctly due to some other Windows bug. Therefore you will unfortunately have to live with this problem.

You can intercept Win+Arrow shortcuts in these dialogs.

BTW: Win+Down doesn't minimize TC main window, it just minimize the dialog.

You can intercept Win+Arrow shortcuts in these dialogs.

Unfortunately system-wide hotkeys cannot be intercepted.

In your subclassing procedure set MINMAXINFO to the dialog fixed size, I did this in VB6 form, download this file to see yourself, my code is based on this one.

I have considered this too, but the size may have to be changed after getting the minmaxinfo request to change the number of progress bars...

But you may send MINMAXINFO again in such case.

I will check that.

Fixed in TC 7.55b1 (just window position is changed when using Win+Arrows).

Fixed in TC 7.55 beta 1
