Closing variable window restores IDE window

Ho Wolfgang,

 

I was away for a while and did not manage to test a few weeks ago, as promised.

 

I am back now and should be able to test the behaviour this afternoon. I'll keep you up to date.

 

Best regards.

Hey Naity,

 

I did realize your absence Smiley Wink but thought that you deserve the days off, recovering from all those customer issues... Happy restart!

Hi Wolfgang,

 

I tried some more but I am still unsuccesful reproducing your behaviour.

 

* I opened the variable watch windows on my variable with the right click menu.

* I broke the execution on the breakpoint couple times, and not only one.

* After stopping the program, the z order was always correct: if I displayed the variable in my last breakpoint, the Variable Window is the topmost window, and if I did not displayed it in the last call, the IDE is the topmost window.

 

Concerning your second behaviour, I could not not reproduce it either. At the end of my execution, I tried to bring the IDE as topmost window, then minimized it with the "_" button, then closed my Variable Watch Window. The IDE remained minimized as expected.

 

The odd thing about it, is that I am also using CVI 2012 and Win 7 x64 (German). Which localisation of Win 7 are you using?

 

Regards

Hi Naity,

 

two quick replies:

 

- I was not talking about the variable watch window, but the variable window (don't know if it makes a difference)

- Win 7 is the English localization (US keyboard)
