List of open and active/Windows Forms displayed within Windows XP 7 v/s windows on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the status bar

Salvation OR,.

We found that the list of forms/open windows displayed in Windows XP (on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the windows taskbar) seems to indicate all open and active windows/forms in the application.

We would like to know how to enable the same functionality in a Windows 7 environment. The best we can do now is to double click on the name of the application on the windows taskbar to switch between active windows/Forms in the application. We would like a menu similar to the windows XP appearance about running on Windows 7 when it comes to this particular feature.

Thank you and best regards,

-Ashish

The taskbard has changed significantly in Windows Vista and 7. You can get a similar functionality to what you call by customizing the taskbar in the taskbar properties. In addition, now press SHIFT key while right-clicking to display a menu similar to what you show in your screenshot, except that it does not display the name of the element. In Windows 7, the feature make you is typically done by hovering over the icon in the bar tasks and selecting one of the points of view which appears above the element.

You can use the Windows shellapi to do a limited customization of the task bar, but this API is very difficult to use and I would not recommend this approach.

CVI provides a method to change the name of the item in the taskbar (see this KB), but it does not add the name after the restoration in the context menu.

  • Pavilion Notebook 15-ab010nr: chaotic random scrolling and active window change - baffled!

    All was well with my Pavilion laptop until one day he began to suffer from a strange video behavior.  While in an active window, suddenly the screen would be automatically scroll upwards or downwards, or in part.  I would scroll to where I was, but then it would scroll away again without my touch.  With a window with no scroll, he would sometimes just change the active window.  So I could be typing and then all of a sudden I'm on another window.  At some point I just watched in disbelief as demonstrated by the receipt of a screenshot screen, then a selection of menu of Outlook and a new email has been selected.  I waited to be typed in the destination address, thinking that someone had control of my laptop, but it stopped there... nothing else was done (thankfully).

    I thought I was suffering from a particular virus, so I searched online to see if everyone was suffering similar symptoms. Nothing.  My antivirus program had not taken anything (Avast!). I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran it... Nothing found.  I applied a bunch of Windows system updates and rebooted... problem still not fixed.

    Then I've reconsidered and suspect somehow my computer has been compromised and a hacker was "playing" with my computer remotely (though the behavior seemed a little too random).  I have disabled Internet access and it still preserved.  I had a mouse external USB installed, so I unplugged which just in case where--no difference.  I thought that perhaps the touchpad was of certain films or light debris on the surface, so I cleaned it... no change.

    I had never experienced this before.  And I couldn't find any recent references to anyone else knows this.  My computer to develop a particular hardware defect?  Still under warranty, but I didn't want to go through this hassle.

    "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

    I hope that I speak not too fast, but I can have solved the problem.

    I went into the settings advanced for mouse control properties and made a few changes:

    (1) click order/settings (the Panel--> mouse), then to finger several gestures and look disabled options 3 and 4 finger (as I don't need them)

    (2) in Windows 8 tiles devices--> mouse and touchpad and change the settings of PC--> PC, I increase the interval of LONG.

    So far, after two full days, not more random behavior of mouse pointer.

  • I get Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

    original title: Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

    UPDATE!

    OK because here we have the ball, I'm changing it to better reflect what is happening. The links below are some of the hundreds of post, will find you on the internet about this Aero lag. Some offer workarounds and some are not. I just googled Aero Lag and it was on the first page.

    If you have the same problem, please provide:

    1. what kind of graphics card you have.
    2. what kind of driver are you using (Win7 preinstalled or drivers from the manufacturer)
    3. your version of Win7 has an update or a clean installation.
    4. what motherboard you have.

    From the sounds of it, Microsoft is looking for a solution.

    I also ask for the forum administrator to make a sticky like many people is facing this problem.

    Solved my problem with Aeor lag.

    Reinstall Windows 7 U64 twice with the new/old driver.
    Replaced Gforce 8800GTX with Gforce GTX480.
    Spent several days on this problem without solution.

    But here's a very simple solution that works for me.

    I removed the USB extension cablefor my CreativeHS - 1200WirelessUSB Gaming Headset.

    Aero lags when extension Iused USB and headphone load.
    Without extension USB cable, all right.

    So he thinks it's a USB extension cable voltagedrop, forces the system to lag. ?

    Hope this can help.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

  • Why Firefox guard open a new window a lot when you click on a tab to open it.

    Firefox guard open a new window every time when I click on a tab to open it. Happens quite a few times per day now and it's annoying.

  • Is it possible to display an image full screen; in other words, how to switch all the toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar?

    I found a few larger images (986 x 1024 and 2420 x 2514) I'd like to see on the entire screen. Is there a way to do this by enabling / disabling (then restore it later) of all toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar? Or is there an FF extension that will make perhaps even easier?

  • I have a black screen, but can use windows on the bottom bar.

    I have a HP desktop computer and you are using Windows Vista Home Premium.  The Office has been black for about a month now.  Again, I have the windows at the bottom bar and am able to navigate in all my programs through the start icon.  The computer seems to work very well - and analyses have not found something unusual.  That's happened?  How can I recover my office?  I can't start my computer Safe Mode (by pressing f8) and I find not "Accessories" in my list of programs, but I could find 'system restore', so I chose a point of restoration about 4 weeks ago, but he has failed.  Can you help me!
    Thank you!

    I thought that the files have completely disappeared.  shortcuts were definitely missing.  When I went to "my documents" on the start menu, I could not find personal files at all.  It is computer of my mother and my brother came the next day and was able to fix it.  He said that he has restored the computer using "System Restore" and used a date prior to that I took.  He was able to restore the computer and found all the files.  I guess they were just hidden.

    So I guess that the problem has been resolved!  Thank you for your answer!
