Taglocity General Discussion Forum

I have two monitors, so I dragged the QuickTag window to the RHS of my right monitor on top of the double-wide Outlook Window.

When I switch focus to another window, the QuickTag window stays on top even though Outlook no longer has focus. This shouldn't happen.

(I am not docking the QuickTag window because that caused some wierd issues and an exception from Taglocity.)

Yes, the window focus looks wrong for the Quick Tag.

As an aside, at the moment I'm investigating 3rd party software that might be interacting with the 'docked' windows technique we use for Outlook 2003, i.e. it causes crashes or exceptions to be raised.

It looks like software that grabs the windows title bar, i.e. such as 'Actual Window Minimizer' and 'SendBk' might be clashing with what we do to make the tool windows appear in Outlook. When more than one things tries to 'grab' the window then timing issues can cause problems.

We're trying to see if the code can handle running with these other utilities, but the workaround for now is to turn them off for Outlook (if possible).

Thanks for the bug report Pete - appreciated.

I do run SendToBack but it doesn't have an exclude option in the dialog.

In trying to test this I hit Ctrl-Q for the first time to bring up QuickTag and got an add-in fired an exception message:

FYI, no exception occurs when I use the QuickTag button on the TagBar, only when I press Ctrl-Q.
