Forums -> UltraMon™ -> "Maximize to Desktop" title bar button not working on one app

The Maximize to Desktop and Move Window title bar buttons are not working on one app, specifically Microsoft Visual C++. When I hover over the buttons they do not brighten like then regular maximize, minimize and close title bar buttons do. Clicking on the MtD and MW buttons also does nothing. I can MtD or MW using hot keys though. Anyone know what causes this?

Which version of Visual C++ are you using?

VC++ 6.0. Funny thing is when I ran my project in debug mode (which froze VC++) the title bar buttons would work. Makes me wonder if VC++ is suppressing the buttons' functionalities. Since the hot keys work (more convenient anyways), it's not a big deal, I was just curious if it was a setting issue or just a quirk of VC++.

Visual Studio 6 never played very well with more than one monitor for me. I would always get fragments on the other screen. Since it was released when Windows 95 was new, it's not surprising.

VC6 probably does some custom processing for the title bar, which causes problems for the buttons added by UltraMon.

There is no workaround for this, but most likely the issue will be fixed in the second 3.0 beta, this release will use a new approach to add the additional buttons.
