Hi Artem,

I'll wait and see how much this affects everyday users. In my case a specific workflow involving a window was the complaint. When the window was closed, I added a call to activate the frame. If someone starts complaining that going to another app and then clicking close is a problem, I'll file the ticket if I am asked to address that workflow too.

So until that happens, I'll just sit pat and await our next move to a version with the fix.

Hello,

Here's a video. I open new docs, click activate another app (on another monitor) and then move back over the x and click it. Watch the frame app title as you can see it change as the app deactivates and activates. This is different than V22 behavior.

Hi Artem,

I am able to duplicate with the RibbonMDISample in V24.1. You can either modify the sample to call SetFlags( xtpWorkspaceShowCloseTab|xtpWorkspaceShowActiveFiles) on the XTPTabClientWnd member of the frame or just build the project and open XTPTabClientWnd.cpp and in the constructor on line 183 set a break point.

Then when the break point is reached, use the debugger to deposit 0x14 into m_dwFlags.

Then continue. when the sample comes up a mdi window is already opened and you should be able to see the close button on the tab. I go ahead and click activate the debugger so the ribbon sample is not activated. Then move the mouse over the X on the mdi tab and click it. Nothing happens. Click again to close the mdi window.

I also have noticed even in V22 that even if the app/sample is active, when you move over the x button it never highlights. I've never really cared about that since no customer has complained. I don't know how far back that goes. That's different than the workspace close button (I add the left/right nav buttons as well as close and the window dropdown on the far right). And its different than docking pane close buttons. All highlight when moving over them. Might be some paint manager setting for that which I have never bothered to find.

I'm sure if moving over the mdi tab close button caused a paint message to highlight it, the rect won't be empty and it would close. However, even in V22 that button doesn't highlight and clicking once closes the window and you can see on mouse down the state of the button changes and the display updates.

Thanks for such a quick response. Sorry I didn't get to the sample earlier and get it to show the close button.

I didn't see any sample that put the close button on an mdi tab. But if you have one run it and then click activate another app and then move the mouse back to the mdi tab and click the x.

With V22 clicking the x not only activates the app but it closes the window. With V24 I have to click the x again to close the window.

Hello,

How I can to reproduce this problem?
