EnableFrameTheme, Ribbon and Vista

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm using the Ribbon theme and the Office 2007 frame for an app, and I discovered a strange behavior when you do the following:

- set the Vista taskbar to auto-hide
- maximize the app

Under these conditions, the taskbar doesn't 'raise' when you move the cursor to the bottom of the screen. The only way to see the taskbar is to hit the 'windows' key or change the app window size.

This can be replicated by doing the following:

- set the Vista taskbar to 'auto-hide';
- run any of the samples that use the ribbon and the Office 2007 frame;
- maximize the screen;
- move the cursor to the bottom of the screen
- notice the taskbar doesn't appear

I would like to know if this is a bug and if there's a way to avoid this happening.

Thanks in advance,
Pedro Almeida

	Oleg, thanks for the fast reply. I'd rather wait until version 12 is 'official,' but it's good to know you have already fixed it! Regards, Pedro
