Basically, this code


Code:

Gui +LastFound
WinSet, Transparent, 222
;winset, transparent, off  ; if this is used, no trouble
Gui, Show, x206 y206 h500 w500

return




when used with MS powertoys 'graphical' task switcher ("taskswitch.exe") or other task switchers such as 'taskSwitch XP Pro',


will cause gui to be un-activatable after the task switcher has hooked and taken an image of the window.




have not had time to dig deeper, hope report is clear.


if try to alt-Tab to a transparent gui via the above task switchers, the window will not be activated.... and will not be activateable...



hope is clear.

using same sequence ?

try to maximize/minimize the gui,

then switch out & swtich back in.


MAKE SURE YOU GET THE 'VISUAL IMAGE' OF THE GUI BEFORE SWITCHING TO IT.



Tested on XP sp 3.

Somehow the various methods I used didnt seem to reproduce it but following that does.

However I can also replicate this using notepad, So its not a gui specific problem. It didnt't do it with PSpad, but im sure a few other apps would be affected.

Possibly an obscure windows bug.....

Edit, After maximising the window, using task switch will take another capture of the window and by doing so it reapairs the window :S
