Bug in VS 2005 VB "Application Framework"?

I've noticed that if I enable the "Application Framework" in the project for
a Windows app, there's a bug when the programs load and I didn't even notice
it until lately.

If you click the "Show Desktop" icon on the task bar in Windows XP just
prior to running the application, the application loads, shows the splash
screen and then minimizes itself leaving the task bar item flashing orange.
If you use the "Show Desktop" to minimize all windows and try to start any
other program, the program loads fine. After some tests, I've realized that
this only happens when the "Application Framework" is enabled. I thought it
might be just something on my machine, but I tested it on my daughters
laptop and got the same results.

I've search Microsofts site and even Googled it to no avail. Anyone aware
of this or is this old news? If so, what's the fix?

Thanks

DJ
 
Hope it helps? I don't think so. Any idiot can give me link to Microsoft.
This is the place for answers, and all you did was direct me to a place
where the answer will come the slowest.
 
DJ,

I don't think that wasn't called for. Cor was genuinely trying to help you,
albeit not the way you were hoping for. This is indeed a place for answers,
but if you feel there is a bug in the MS software, you should indeed report
it as suggested. Someone else might have found a workaround and he or she
will then reply to your post, but slacking off Cor doesn't really incite
anyone else to help IMHO.

Just my $0.02 :-)
 
"I don't think that wasn't called for?" Double negative. That actually
means it was called for, and in my opinion it truly was. Maybe you actually
agree with me and it was a "Freudian Slip"

I'm sure Cor was trying to help but its people like him who slow down this
type of forum by not giving actual answers to the questions given. If I
wanted to wait for Microsoft to answer, I would have gone there first.
Experienced programmers who have the answers are supposed to be the ones
answering the questions. I'd be willing to guess that Cor either works for
Microsoft in promoting their feedback site, or has no life and just likes to
hand out links to "other places".

Not all of us programmers are shy nerds with no social life. Sometimes you
will actually hear the brutally honest truth from someone. Deal with it.
God I miss the days of message boards on dial-up BBSes long before people
considered themselves internet police and coined the term "netiquette".

How many more replies of "off topic" conversation does it take these days to
get to the center of the tootsie pop?
 
No, I gave up on that and found the answer elsewhere, but it needed to be
said because with the premise that you have to only say "nice" things in
here, it leads to a situation where the idiots are never being told they're
idiots. Someone's got to do it or we'll end up with a world full of
politically correct "nice" people who have no clue when their being stupid.
Forums we're designed to enlighten people with knowledge, not a test of how
nice you are. The beauty of democracy is that you won't always like what
you hear and it makes you a stronger person because of it. I in fact did
enlighten him with the knowledge of how not to insult peoples intelligence
and to step aside when you don't actually know the answer. If I had to be
constrained by the rule of "niceness", that could have never been
accomplished. Yes, you can be like a politician and always say things in a
nice way but it never really communicates how you truly felt.

God bless honesty. Let's not forget it's root word "honor". There is no
honor in not being honest. People seem to forget that these days. In an
industry that's about 90% males, it's amazing how there's a lack of balls.
The term "nerd" doesn't come from the fact that you're good with computers,
it comes form the fact that most of you are complete wimps. These types of
replies you're giving only solidify that image.
 
Hey , Just glad you found the answer. I get frustrated too with Ms bs. But
anyways, how about sharing newly acquired knowledge with us DJ?

I don't know if I should laugh or cry over your reply.. you mister are a
piece of work.

It's nice to be honest because there's nothing wrong with honesty, but being
honest in a rude way won't get you any honor. Because everyone can offend
someone else and if by your standards it makes me a nerd for not liking to
offend people just for the fun of it, well then you can call me a nerd. I
however always thought that it was called being polite and well mannered.

Just my thought.
