I've never seen this before. A little code showing how you call the other window might be helpful.
-----Original Message----- From: Gross, Stephan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 August 2001 19:18 To: 'Perl GUI' Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Why do Windows spontaneously minimize? I'm writing an application where data is input in a first window, then the user hits a button which calls a second window. Sometimes the second window pops right up, but at other times it starts minimized, so I have to click it twice on the task bar to see it. Can anyone suggest why this happens? I also notice this effect even when I am designing a window; if I make a label a certain length and the data in the label changes, I may see the same thing. I am not using any IsVisible or OnTop methods. _______________________________________________________ Stephan Gross Loral Skynet 908-470-2388 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
