I use WinForms with CEFSharp 41.0.1 and have next problem: the background of the application (google.com is opened) lose background and begin transparent on the Windows 7 from the beginning till the end and provide same behavior when switching system users on the Windows 8 until focusing the app.
Furthermore, for Windows 8 the application sometimes can not take focus in after it, you are trying to focus in input in google but go through the application to the background app. This is very big trouble for our app.
I cannot show Windows 7 case now, so I show the behavior for Windows 8 with changing system users after Ctrl + Alt + Delete -> Switch User
Screenshots for Windows 8 (before switching users):
Screenshots for Windows 8 (after switching system users):
For that case is impossible to take a screenshot because whenever you focus in application, it re-renders and looks correctly.
I use next code for creating browser object and adding to the form:
_browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("google.com")
{
Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
MenuHandler = new CustomMenuHandler(),
BrowserSettings = new BrowserSettings()
{
ApplicationCacheDisabled = false,
FileAccessFromFileUrlsAllowed = true,
JavascriptDisabled = false,
LocalStorageDisabled = false,
WebSecurityDisabled = true,
JavaScriptOpenWindowsDisabled = false,
JavascriptDomPasteDisabled = false,
}
};
RegisterWrappers();
Controls.Add(_browser);
and next code for the initialization:
Cef.Initialize(new CefSettings()
{
CachePath = "cache"
});
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Context(new Form1()));
Appreciate any ideas.
The solution is to delete TransparencyKey property from the WinForms. In our project it was set to White and white background content in browser becomes transparent in Windows 7 but for Windows 8 it is not work correctly so it was difficult to detect problem.

Someday I found that all my WPF applications failed to drag outside of the windows and I cannot resize any windows with real-time preview.
My question is why this happens and how can I solve this?
You can view the animation image showing below:
You can notice that when my cursor is outside the window, the resizing immediately stops and the window keep the size when the cursor first leaving the window there. If the cursor reenters the window area and the window resizing resumes.
Not only all the WPF applications that are written by me, but also the other WPF applications reproduces:
Visual Studio 2017/2019
Snoop
ScreenToGif
Etc.
Non-WPF applications behave correctly.
This phenomenon happens several months ago since my system version was Windows 10 (1809) and now my system version is Windows 10 (1903) and this issue stands still. WPF application embedded from .NET Framework 3.5/4.5/4.8 and .NET Core 3.0.
Update1: I just cleaned all my drives and reinstalled my Windows 10 Professional (1903, Customer version) with some core applications, the issue still exists. The core applications are Chrome, PalmInput IME, iTunes.
Update2: I've written a WPF application handle the window messages. I find that the 49757 message will stop receiving when I'm resizing window outside of it. The message behaves normally on my friend's system.
Update:
As pointed out by members of the WPF team the recommended way of disabling stylus and touch support in WPF is by using the Switch.System.Windows.Input.Stylus.DisableStylusAndTouchSupport setting in App.config like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Windows.Input.Stylus.DisableStylusAndTouchSupport=true" />
</runtime>
</configuration>
Also note that this is not a solution, rather a work around, that might not be a good fit for all scenarios.
Original:
Markus Eisenstöck found a work around for this issue. By disabling the tablet support in WPF you will experience the expected behavior. I have tested and it works on my machine (Windows 10 version 1903 & .NET Framework 4.6.2):
public static void DisableWpfTabletSupport()
{
// Get a collection of the tablet devices for this window.
TabletDeviceCollection devices = System.Windows.Input.Tablet.TabletDevices;
if (devices.Count > 0)
{
// Get the Type of InputManager.
Type inputManagerType = typeof(System.Windows.Input.InputManager);
// Call the StylusLogic method on the InputManager.Current instance.
object stylusLogic = inputManagerType.InvokeMember("StylusLogic",
BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.Instance |
BindingFlags.NonPublic,
null, InputManager.Current, null);
if (stylusLogic != null)
{
// Get the type of the stylusLogic returned
// from the call to StylusLogic.
Type stylusLogicType = stylusLogic.GetType();
// Loop until there are no more devices to remove.
while (devices.Count > 0)
{
// Remove the first tablet device in the devices collection.
stylusLogicType.InvokeMember("OnTabletRemoved",
BindingFlags.InvokeMethod |
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic,
null, stylusLogic, new object[] { (uint)0 });
}
}
}
}
I'm using a Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog in a WPF application which is fine in Windows 10 but some users are still using Windows XP and initially the dialog shows no files.
Changing the file type to another type updates the list. It appears to only be the initial loading.
I've used System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog, using a "Using", making sure the Dialog has an owner Window and using BeginInvoke on the current dispatcher.
lSaveFileDialog = new Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog();
lSaveFileDialog.Title = "Datei speichern";
lSaveFileDialog.InitialDirectory = pFilenameElements.IFilenameElement_DirectoryInfo.FullName;
lSaveFileDialog.Filter = "Word Dateien (*.doc)|*.doc|Alle Dateien (*.*)|*.*";
lSaveFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;
lSaveFileDialog.FileName = pSuggestedFilename;
if (lSaveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
{
return lSaveFileDialog.FileName;
}
I expect the Dialog to open and display other Word files in the current folder but it only does that if I switch the filter to "All" and then I see everything. Switching back to "Word" and I see the Word files.
On Windows 10 there is no problem.
I have the Chromium source on Windows 7, and launch my custom app with the --app="..url" switch through a .bat file. How can I prevent users from opening more than one instance of my Chromium app? This includes opening the .exe directly, using the .bat file and by selecting "Chromium" from the jump list menu on the task bar.
If the app is launched with the --app="...url" flag, then the following solution will prevent further "instances" of Chrome being opened. I say "instances" because Chrome doesn't actually create new Chrome base processes. Instead, it opens a new window with a process used for rendering that particular window.
So, when the app is in --app mode, all you need to do is prevent new windows from opening. This can be accomplished by modifying the OpenApplicationWindow() method within the Chromium source code Application_launch class: chrome/browser/ui/extensions/application_launch.cc.
...
OpenApplicationWindow(const AppLaunchParams& params) {
browser = chrome::FindBrowserWithProfile(profile, params.desktop_type);
#endif
WebContents* web_contents;
if (!browser) {
browser = new Browser(browser_params);
web_contents = chrome::AddSelectedTabWithURL(
browser, url, content::PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_TOPLEVEL);
web_contents->GetMutableRendererPrefs()->can_accept_load_drops = false;
web_contents->GetRenderViewHost()->SyncRendererPrefs();
}
else {
web_contents = browser->tab_strip_model()->GetActiveWebContents();
}
browser->window()->Show();
...
*NOTE: There should be some Windows 8 code in this method already. The idea is to remove the conditions for Windows 8 Metro Mode, so new Windows are always prevented.
I have a Windows Phone 8 app that I recently upgraded to 8.1 Silverlight. I'd like to use the new tile templates. Right now I have a ScheduledTaskAgent that uses ShellTile.
In order to use the new live tiles I changed the notification service to WNS in my WMAppManifest.xml. I removed the code to register the old background task and added this code instead:
var backgroundAccessStatus = await BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync();
if (backgroundAccessStatus == BackgroundAccessStatus.AllowedMayUseActiveRealTimeConnectivity ||
backgroundAccessStatus == BackgroundAccessStatus.AllowedWithAlwaysOnRealTimeConnectivity)
{
foreach (var task in BackgroundTaskRegistration.AllTasks)
{
if (task.Value.Name == "LiveTileBackgroundTask")
{
task.Value.Unregister(true);
}
}
BackgroundTaskBuilder taskBuilder = new BackgroundTaskBuilder();
taskBuilder.Name = "LiveTileBackgroundTask";
taskBuilder.TaskEntryPoint = "BackgroundTasks.LiveTileBackgroundTask";
taskBuilder.SetTrigger(new TimeTrigger(15, false));
var registration = taskBuilder.Register();
}
I created a Windows Phone 8.1 Windows Runtime Component called BackgroundTasks that contains a BackgroundTask called LiveTileBackgroundTask:
public sealed class LiveTileBackgroundTask : IBackgroundTask
{
public void Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance taskInstance)
{
BackgroundTaskDeferral deferral = taskInstance.GetDeferral();
const string xml = "<tile>"
+ "<visual>"
+ "<binding template='TileWideText01'>"
+ "<text id='1'>Text Field 1 (larger text)</text>"
+ "<text id='2'>Text Field 2</text>"
+ "<text id='3'>Text Field 3</text>"
+ "<text id='4'>Text Field 4</text>"
+ "<text id='5'>Text Field 5</text>"
+ "</binding> "
+ "</visual>"
+"</tile>";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
TileNotification tileNotification = new TileNotification(doc);
TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication().Update(tileNotification);
deferral.Complete();
}
}
I added a reference to this assembly in my Windows Phone project.
I also added a Background task declaration in my Package.appxmanifest that has BackgroundTasks.LiveTileBackgroundTask as an Entry point. I selected Timer and System event as supported task types.
When I run the app though, nothing happens. No live tile appears. I ran through the background task and everything goes well without any exceptions.
You say "No live tile appears". The code you've posted does not create a live tile - it just updates one. You have to manually pin it - the primary tile cannot be pinned through code.
If that's not the problem, maybe you're not looking at the wide tile? This template is for a wide tile, so the square tile won't be updated by this. I'd suggest using the NotificationsExtensions library. It was originally for Windows Store apps, but I think it would work for WP as well. (I've used it, but just for a test, not for real, so there may be issues.) It allows you to easily specify the template and params for both wide and square tiles.
And finally, to have a wide tile, you have to manually edit the Package.appxmanifest file. You must add the Wide310x150Logo attribute to the DefaultTile element.
That's all I can think of. Hope it helps.
Continuous background execution is not supported for Silverlight 8.1
apps
Windows Phone 8 apps can continue to run in the background after the
user navigates away from the app under certain conditions. This
feature is not available for Silverlight 8.1 apps. If you need this
feature, you should continue to use a Windows Phone 8 app. For more
information, see Running location-tracking apps in the background for
Windows Phone 8.

Just wondering if there's a known way of getting a Mono System.Windows.Forms application to go fullscreen on Ubuntu/Gnome.
Mono is 2.4.2.3
Ubuntu is 9.10
Doing it on Windows requires a pinvoke, clearly not going to work here.
This is what I get setting window border to none, window position to centre, and state to maximised:
alt text http://dl.dropbox.com/u/116092/misc/permalink/joggler/screenshot01.png
Update.
Have also tried:
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
CTRL-F11
Text = string.Empty; // No caption
MaximizeBox = false;
MinimizeBox = false;
ControlBox = false;
FormBorderStyle = None;
WindowState = Maximized;
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
Location = new Point(0, 0);
Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size;
All of which I end up with the same result.
I have come across a lead which involves a pinvoke involving _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN but that's as far as I've got with it. Any pointers on that would be appreciated.
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN will just get rid of the borders. The GNOME panel will still appear.
According to the following post, the secret is to get rid of the minimum/maximum sizes so that the window manager does the resizing itself:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/GNOME/2010-01/msg00035.html
Here is some documentation on the native spec:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html
http://www.x.org/docs/ICCCM/icccm.pdf
To talk directly to the X Window System you have to pinvoke into XLib. In order to send something like _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN you have to have a pointer to the window and also to the display.
I am not sure how to find the display but I can help with a pointer to the window. When running on X, the property Form.Handle should be a pointer to the X window.
Not sure what you mean by "Full Screen" - but I've written several Windows.Forms applications that take over the screen, and without a single PInvoke.
Here's how I configure my main form ...
Text = string.Empty; // No caption
MaximizeBox = false;
MinimizeBox = false;
ControlBox = false;
FormBorderStyle = None;
WindowState = Maximized;
Optionally,
TopMost = true;
Hope this helps.
You need to disable visual effects in ubuntu.
edit:
And make sure your form size is at least screen resolution without borders. If borders are on design time and you are removing them in code you will need something like 1030x796 for a 1024x768 display.
I have been suffered by this problem 2 days and finally i got the solution:
click the 1st icon on left tool bar and search compizconfig program. Go to preference-> unity and you will see there is a tick for unity plugin on the left side. Remove that tick and you will see the top menu bar disappeared.
Though this thread is very old but I still hope I can help anyone who gets this problem and seek for help.
Have you tried this?
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
Unfortunately I have no Ubuntu available right now, but I can see old patches for this in old mono versions...
It should be possible to display every app running inside gnome in fullscreen mode with the "CTRL+F11" hotkey.
Maybe you could try
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send();
but that is just a guess, I haven't got a Linux running atm to try this. But maybe this helps.
I can't test it at the moment, but have you tried a simple resize?
form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
form.Location = Point(0, 0)
form.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size
I have worked around this for now by setting the autohide property of the panel.
Not ideal because it depends on the user changing their environment to use my application, but better than nothing.
YMMV. http://fixunix.com/xwindows/91585-how-make-xlib-based-window-full-screen.html
The following worked:
(Inspiration was taken from here: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40997)
1) sudo apt-get install wmctrl
2) In your code:
Form form = new MainWindow();
form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
form.Load += (s, e) => {
Process process = new Process {
StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo {
FileName = "wmctrl",
Arguments = $"-r :ACTIVE: -b add,fullscreen",
CreateNoWindow = true
}
};
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
};
Application.Run(form);
