TaskBox 3.20 9 August 1997
New features:
3.20:
- now have true multiple select( CTRL+mouse button click)
- task buttons can be vertical( makes is look tidier if stuck to the side of
the screen! )
changed:
3.20:
- TaskBox is properly multi-threaded with all the taskdata being collected in
a different thread to the window procedures( this should make this more resistant
to other programs crashing( or blocking the message queue).
- the taskbox never gains focus
- ALT+left mouse button is now used to simulate middle mouse button clicks
- /SILENT_EXIT is no longer needed
- /TITLE:* now changes window list entry name
3.21:
- "auto-task top" now also move's the TaskBox to the top
Bugs fixed:
3.21:
- move, size, && "auto-task top" now work( broken in ver 3.20 )
- no longer leaves image of taskbox( on the screen) after closing
- fixed a couple of problems (with random crashing) due to variables not being
initialised to the correct values
- add class's "wpFolder frame" & "EFrame" to be treated as frames( so cascade, tile will work on them)
- when prompted if wanted to kill task, if 'cancel' is selected
doesn't ask again for about 30 seconds
- wasn't telling modules to save settings
3.20:
- No longer eats memory up at a ridiculous rate( I'm still not sure what was causing
this but I think it must have had something to with the hooks as when I rewrote the
code for them the problem vanished).
- taskbuttons are now sized according to the size of the font and icon
Older stuff:
New since V3.10:
- modified the tboxhook.dll to limit the amount of memory used
- made active task button a bit brighter
New since V3.09:
- a lot more options
- button is depressed for active task
- changed the way the tasks are collected( now only update when a window
is activated and when titlebars text is changed)
New since V3.08:
- fixed problem with settings for actiavtion bar not always being saved
New since V3.07:
- fixed problem with TaskBox not always being shown
- made /SILENT_EXIT default with watch, as if /SILENT_EXIT isn`t specified and
taskbox locks up the watcher thread fails to terminate taskbox
- cured a problem with taskbox trapping when it runs out of memory
- modified the way tasks list are updated
New since V3.06:
- cured a problem ( the dreaded SYS3175) with TaskBox losing focus on
warp 3( without fixpack 17)
- added a few more settings due to requests from various people
- changed "auto task top" to work correctly
- gave the activation bar the same name as the TaskBox so it will work
better with multiple desktop utilities( works with PC2, PageMage, MegaDesk)
also added /TITLE:* option to give TaskBox an alternative name( as it was
annoying me that with PC2 any window with TaskBox in title remained sticky
and this allows a unique name, eg. "/TITLE:zxcvbnm" )
NB: window list entry isn`t changed
- corrected problem with resize/move ignoring keyboard
- corrected problem with bubbles covering window
- corrected problem with module box sizeing routine
New since V3.05:
- added /WC option to activate warpcenter( Warp 4) ( or LaunchPad ( prev versions) when mouse
moves over activation bar
New since V3.04:
- added an option to allow running at different priorities
/P:?:* where ? is one of I,R,F,T( inorder of increasing priority)
and * is a number between -31 & +31
- added a /SYNC and /ASYNC option which affect the order
in which message`s are processed to check if one works better than
the other
- cured a problem which caused a lockup when dos/windows
apps were started
New since V3.03:
- fixed problem with a menu operation being used for multiple tasks
even though only one task was selected.
- fixed problem with newline characters not being converted to spaces
- fixed a couple of other minor bugs
New since V3.02:
- added multiple select
- added tile/cascade option
- added auto-raise feature
- moved common code into ka_crtm.dll
to check the version of this file type
BLDLEVEL KA_CRTM.DLL
- changed activation bar so that when TaskBox active it doesn`t
block it
- fixed problem with sizing routine
New since V3.01:
- hopefully fixed probs with random crashes, had thought version 3.00
had cured it but was incorrect
- fixed probs with presparams not being saved
New since V3.00:
- got rid of the clock( had got alot of complaints about the fact you couldn't
turn it off )
- fixed problem with it crashing when selecting lockup
- fixed problem with random crashes due to memory access violations( SYS3175 errors)
- improved the resizing routine.
- I now allow you to add programs to the removed list in the settings book.
- added a module box( so modules can have windows on the TaskBox and not
just entries on menu's )
Note: This is not necessarily a complete list of bugs fixed/new features.
