Themed form truncated at the bottom when maximised

ISHAN GANDHI posted over 9 years ago

I have applied theme to a form and I noticed that when the form is maximized or is full screened the bottom portion of the form hides behind the system taskbar. This behavior is only observed when theme is applied on the form, without the theme the form works perfectly.

Hi Ishan,

I have so far been unable to get this issue to occur in my testing. I'd like to gather some more information to try and pinpoint the cause.

Is it isolated to one test machine, or do you see it happening in multiple environments?
What screen resolution are you using, and are you using multiple monitors? Does the maximization issue occur on all screens?
If you change your screen resolution, does the issue persist? I'm interested to know whether this is caused by a specific resolution, or whether a "reset" will stop it from happening.

Hi Mike,

Yes, I am using windows 7 for development. But I don't think the issue is due to this as I have not noticed this behavior in any other application. Also recently I noticed that this behavior is evident only when I use UltraFormManager or UltraToolbarManager. I am using those two to theme the non-client area of the form.

Your suggestions are welcome.

Regards

Hi Ishan,

I could not get this to occur in my test environment. After doing some research, I found others experiencing an issue where many or all of their applications were drawn behind the taskbar. I would like to clarify a few things:

From your screenshots, it appears that you are using Windows 7. Is this correct?

Your screenshot shows the issue without the theme applied. Are you able to reproduce this without using the theme?

Have you noticed this behavior in any other application?

The advice given on how to resolve this on an independent Microsoft help site was as follows:

Move your taskbar to the top of the screen. Set taskbar to autohide. Restart your machine.

Set taskbar to NOT autohide. Restart again.

Move your taskbar back to the bottom.

I am not certain why this works, but others have posted in support of the advice. Here is a link to the full thread: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/21697-bug-windows-maximize-behind-taskbar.html

Please let me know whether you are able to resolve this.

Hi Mike

I am attaching a demo application as well as a theme. Also attaching a screenshot. This happens when we use windows' maximize-on-top-drag feature. Everything works fine when using the maximize button on the form.
