GlowWindow in TaskManager

[wfuerst]

Hello,

With using the new version including the GlowWindow, i noticed that the task manager displays multiple processes, see screenshot:

Any ideas?

Thanks

What version?

Please include the version of the library which you are using. This will help us to isolate the issue quicker.

Version is MahApps.Metro 0.11.0.23-ALPHA

[punker76]

this could be a bug in this version, please take the latest and test it again. thanks.

Hello,

Its still the same problem. Just tested it with latest version.

A possible solution would be to have the Glow Windows set the 'AssociatedObject' as their Owner. I'll test it out later and throw together a PR (if anyone doesn't before me).

check here

public class GlowWindowBehavior : Behavior { private GlowWindow left, right, top, bottom; protected override void OnAttached() { base.OnAttached();

        this.AssociatedObject.Loaded += (sender, e) =>
        {
            left = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Left);
            right = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Right);
            top = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Top);
            bottom = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Bottom);

            Show();

            left.Update();
            right.Update();
            top.Update();
            bottom.Update();
        };

        this.AssociatedObject.Closed += (sender, args) =>
        {
            if (left != null) left.Close();
            if (right != null) right.Close();
            if (top != null) top.Close();
            if (bottom != null) bottom.Close();
        };
    }

im sure here is the problem

this is the fix

protected override void OnAttached() { base.OnAttached();

        this.AssociatedObject.Loaded += (sender, e) =>
        {
            left = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Left);
            right = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Right);
            top = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Top);
            bottom = new GlowWindow(this.AssociatedObject, GlowDirection.Bottom);
            left.Owner =(MetroWindow)sender;
            right.Owner = (MetroWindow)sender;
            top.Owner = (MetroWindow)sender;
            bottom.Owner = (MetroWindow)sender;
            Show();

            left.Update();
            right.Update();
            top.Update();
            bottom.Update();
        };

        this.AssociatedObject.Closed += (sender, args) =>
        {
            if (left != null) left.Close();
            if (right != null) right.Close();
            if (top != null) top.Close();
            if (bottom != null) bottom.Close();
        };
    }

Is there a reason why GlowWindowBehavior creates 4 GlowWindows instead of 1 GlowWindow with a glowing border & transparent middle?
