That won't really work, as I use the /q option to quit HideGUI after hiding or showing the desktop, etc. - because I need to be able to call HideGUI multiple times, to switch back and forth between settings. It's working well as-is for now, just using the command line. After all, I should make sure ...

Hello,

I believe you'll have to open up that user's registry from a different (administrator) account and change the setting.

Hi Scott, I know that for the programming language itself, there's a .DLL file that's involved. I *think* you can call functions from a DLL file, but I'm not sure. Here's an example of an API call in RapidQ: DECLARE FUNCTION SetWindowLong Lib "User32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (hwnd...

Woot! This may be just what I need to take my checkout system to the "next level" lol... I just made a quick test program at home and ran it, all I had it do was hide the desktop etc., sleep 10 seconds, then un-hide it... and it worked perfectly! After using my checkout system at our libra...

HideGUI question

Hi Scott, As we try to offer more and more programs on our public computer stations, my checkout program is beginning to reach it's limitations. The log-on program launches up to eight programs, which may not be enough in some libraries. I was about to look into how to disable the Windows GUI when I...

Well, it's wasn't all PWB, looks like there was a Java issue as well. After updating PWB on a public computer, proveit.com still caused PWB to crash. I launched it in IE7, and that froze with a window that said "upgrading java applet cache." I tried it again in IE7 and it worked, then went...

Looks like we're still using 2.07 R 3 on our public computers, I should probably get things updated... I tried it myself, as soon as I click the "Go!" button, PWB crashes. Doesn't happen on my test computer with the most current version, so I'll try to get things updated soon. We're in the...

PWB crashes at www.proveit.com

Hello, We have a patron who is trying to take a test at www.proveit.com - after they type in their session ID and click the "Go!" button, we get the "PWB MFC has caused an error..." screen and PWB dies. I brought the site up in Firefox, looks like it uses Java (also, the HTML doe...

This happened all the time with IE on my folks' computer, but they were still running Windows ME. Are you running out of memory somehow? The black drop-downs and other garbled items lead me to think that. PWB just acts as a front-end for the IE rendering engine, so display problems are *usually* the...

Hi Greg, welcome back :) I had tried using the print template with IE7, and as I recall it didn't work... at all. Not to mention the fact that the print preview screen in IE7 is completely different (for the better, for the most part at least). Also, because of the way the print template has to chan...

Anyone know if there's a resource for using print templates with IE7? I was all set to roll out IE7 on our public stations along with a print template update to make sure patrons know how much their printouts are going to cost, and now GregP is gone and I'm at a loss so far... Thanks! and help! :P

Hi Scott,

These work fine on our NT station as well *except* for the font size icon. What is the icon filename for this button?

Thanks!

I believe we were still using 2.093, I just noticed today that 2.10 was released within the last few days. These test stations are still running NT (we've been waiting for someone to donate some moolah for over a year now to get rid of these last two dinosaurs lol...) I noticed that the button icons...
