Salgado Guest Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2004 4:41 pm    Post subject: Delphi and Citrix Being new to Citrix use, we have been experiencing some Modal dialogs "not really being modal" in Citrix. If dialogs are hidden or obscured by another app or windows, this effectively makes an app "freeze" or "hang" in the mind of the user. Don't know what to do about it. Is this a problem with Citrix or Delphi on Citrix? If so, can this be avoided by looking at Terminal Services in the latter Windows versions? TIA - Eduardo I am not great, I'm good.

It usually fixes that issue about modal dialogs. -- Leonel http://www.techtips.com.br Back to top Eduardo A. Salgado Guest Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2004 8:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi and Citrix This is what I was not aware of: "When running seamlessly, some applications built using the Borland development environment, such as Delphi, sometimes allowed the parent window of a dialog box to go to the foreground, leaving no mechanism to return the dialog box to the foreground. "In a seamless session, the parent window can receive messages other than mouse-oriented ones, like a focus change request from the ICA Client. The parent window responds to the request and goes to the foreground." In the Citrix Knowledge base there is a fix that does not work consistently for us. Any of experienced this and has a good fix? Why is there the problem with the Borland development environment? BTW, I could not find any reference to "DisableWindowProcessGhosting". - Eduardo I am not great, I'm good.

It is really annoying and our customers bitch about it all the time. The problem only affects delphi apps, I made a test app in c# and it works fine there. The solution in the citrix KB does not work. T Back to top John Furlong Guest Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2004 1:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi and Citrix Eduardo A.

Don't know what to do about it. snip TIA - Eduardo Eduardo, Try the following, it moves the most recent modal dialog to the front of any other application windows. Hook the method to the Application OnActivate event. // in mainform.create, or any other suitable place: Application.OnActivate := Activated; procedure TMainForm.Activated(Sender : TObject); var H : HWND; begin H := GetLastActivePopup(Application.Handle); if H <> Application.Handle then SetWindowPos(H, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_SHOWWINDOW); end; HTH John Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Non-Technical All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
