Losing control of applications running in maximized mode!

Status: New

Running an application in maximized mode (with main window covering the task bar), if you switch to the desktop (i.e. pressing Windows key+D), you are no longer able to return back to your application. You will see your application button in the task bar, but nothing happens clicking on it, nor you successed using Task Manager, you have simply lost your application.

Imagine you need to use a program in maximized mode and the program controls production tools and machineries, involving money and safety issues, it is an embarrassing situation.

I hope you can fix it soon, today I've fixed it training the operators to avoid the hanging sequence.

Thank you.

Sergio

Laser,

 

Are you proposing a new idea for LabWindows?  If so, what is it?

 

It sounds like you are having a problem that you may be considering a bug.  But you're write up is very unclear.  Perhaps you should post in the LabWindows board and put some screenshots with your post so you can show us what the problem is.

Thank you for the answer, I understand I'm not in the right place.

Please consider that NI support invited me to signal this bug using NI Product Suggestion link.

Product Suggestion Center for CVI redirects me on CVI Idea Exchange, this is why I wrote my problem here, sorry!
