Add show parameter to ShellExecuteEx #28

Closed mxmauro closed 3 years ago

mxmauro commented 3 years ago

Hi, I just installed yesterday's release on my Windows 10 with all updates.

The problem I'm facing is WinDbgX, automatically detected, is launched but the windows nor the taskbar button appears.

I realized the process was running but, for some reason, hidden. Surprisingly, when I press Alt+TAB to switch windows, it does appear in the list and, when selected, WinDbgX main window appears.

Debugging vmmon64, I forced the nShow parameter to SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED and the problem disappears.

Thanks for keeping VirtualKD alive.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Do you have multiple monitors or use RDP?

Would you be able to try with SW_SHOWNORMAL instead of SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED? I can also make a one off build for you to try if you would like.

I am hesitant towards making it SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED since it seems to be more intrusive if you are trying to multitask. If you know how I can reproduce it that would also make it easier for me to try a couple more things as well.

I have multiple monitors. Seems a problem related to Windows because one time I could see the same effect on another application.

I'll check with SW_SHOWNORMAL and give feeback :)

2021.1 (released today) defaults to using SW_SHOWNORMAL. I will close this pull request for now, but I am still interested in hearing your feedback and if you have any ideas as to what is causing the behavior you described on your host.

Hi @4d61726b, yes it worked too, thanks. Despite less times, personally I have a similar issue launching MobaXTerm so I would confirm that is something related to the OS but don't know yet.
