Windows Taskbar/Mac Dock disappear

General
1

Windows Taskbar/Mac Dock disappear sometimes when my changes views/Windows.
Anyone knows why and more importantly how to prevent it from happening?

I mostly use such method:

Window1.TheParent = Self #If TargetWindows Then Window1.Visible = True DropMedia.Visible = False AudioSelector.Visible = False #Elseif TargetMacOS Then Window1.Show DropMedia.Hide AudioSelector.Hide #Endif
Or sometimes:

Window1.TheParent = Self Window1.Show DropMedia.Hide AudioSelector.Hide DownloadWindow.Hide SettingsWin.Hide TrimVid.Hide
funny thing is that when it happens opening any window would bring the Taskbar/Dock back on both macOS and Windows, but of course that’s not a solution and nothing I can ask users to do on and on :wink:

when you switch to the window where you see this happen does it have a menu bar assigned to it ?
and is menu bar visible property set to true (its on the advanced tab - the one with the gear icon in the inspector)

If you use a floating window, it does not show in the taskbar. Could it be that ?

I don’t have any Menu Bar in any of the windows or the app itself, It took me a while to understand what you mean by “menu bar visible property set to true” but I finally figured out what you were talking about, So one of the windows was set to False, I changed it into True and I think it fixed the issue but I’ll have to give it some time to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
I really don’t understand why do I need to set the menu bar visibility property to anything if there’s no such thing in my app?

@Michel Bujardet , non of the windows is a floating window, all set to Main Window and one or two as Parent Window.

in a way menu bar visible is badly named

Hahaha, so it seems :slight_smile:

So basically I need to make sure this property is always True even on apps that doesn’t have any menu bar?

whenever you add a new window it should be true by default

@Norman Palardy I don’t remember ever changing that property but then again I could have change some windows to floating window and switched back to main window so it could have changed by itself?
Anywho it’s good to know I need to pay attention to this property even if it seems redundant!

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated;)

By the way, I mixed up earlier window location with window type, what I meant was that all of my windows in this app are set to Document but I may have played with it at some point and switched back to Document.
