Can't resize running VEE window when Message Box is open

Hi,

I've seen some strange behavior with VEE that has caused me a few problems. Here's what I'm seeing:

I have a VEE program that will spawn an external Java program to plot a series of control charts. The control charts are generated with the windows minimized. These charts also create a status file which VEE reads to determine if our system is in control. At this point, a message box is displayed and allows viewing the control charts.

Here's defect number 1: when I ask the control charts to tile, the VEE program re-sizes as well. I think this is a VEE bug, not Windows, as other programs do not exhibit this behavior.

Then, when I want to restore VEE to it's original size, I can't because a message box is awaiting a response. So, when a message box is up, VEE can't be maximized or have it's window changed. It's really bad when the dialog box is off screen, then you're effectively locked out of the program. This is defect number 2.

Has anyone seen this? How do you deal with it? I'd like Agilent to consider resolving these defects.

Thanks,
Steve Ortiz

Correction:

The first defect does seem to be a feature of Windows (both XP and Win7). Here's how to produce it: Open a window, for instance Internet Explorer, and maximize it. Then open two or more windows of a different type, like two instances of notepad. Minimize the two instances of notepad and these are grouped in the taskbar. Now, in the taskbar on Notepad select Cascade or Show windows stacked, or Show windows side by side. When you do this, the notepad windows get arranged according to your selection, but the Internet Explorer window will also change size.

If you wanna save these complicated steps and find a easy way, you can google imaging sdk and you will find many useful tools, or google how to resize image to get instructive articles. Good luck:) I think [url=http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/imaging-processing/]image processing programmes[/url] can enable to quickly resize pictures . i have use imaging sdk which can original layouts hyperlinks, Images and tables retained in word ,text, image, Epub, html.but i forgot download the wedsite ,go to google. By the way , pay attention to your system platform, select the suitable one . I use an imaging sdk driver found on the internet . Install it and it becomes a selectable processing option.Then you can [url=http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/resize-image/]resize your image[/url] in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat .zoom in or zoom out on your own will. Just open the images, select resize ,and follow the setps given in the sdk, the task will be finished in several seconds. if you haven't found a good choice , you can have a try. best wishes.
