Moving Desktop Windows - sporadic window movements

Ok, glad to hear that you can resolve it. But once again, i tried on another browser such as safari and mozila. Both of them worked fine.

I was able to resolve this by setting WindowInteractiveMode to shadow, and futher speed things up by disabling animations in WebDesktopManager.

Prior to this change, I experienced the above behavior problems in ALL browsers except IE.

Thank you

Hi,

Could you look into my sample and let me if you get the same issue or not. Did you mean "window disappeards and a silhouetter" as shadow animation or something? If yes, you only need to set WindowInteractiveMove properties "Shadow". Unfortunately, i still could not replicate sporadic issue. May i know what safari version did you use?

Should I create a support ticket, or should we continue to troubleshoot this here.

Kindly read my last post. Thank you!

I continue to experience this issue on all computers I test it on. It works in IE fine in all cases.

Is there a "click lock" feature that locks the curser to the window? Sometimes my curser become stuck in "Move" mode when I move a window. It's as if move mode isn't properly ending after my click release.

Is there a way to disable this feature?

How can I make my Window move behavior like yours on the Intersoft Network. When moving a window on your WebDesktop, the window disappears and a "silhouette" appears. How can I replicate this feature?

Hi Alex,

I tested out a simple sample with those settings, but I could not replicate the issue. Could you help me by sending a simple sample that replicates this issue? The sporadic window movements is very weird. Please ensure that you have applied the latest hotfixes in your project bin folder.

Handy

Thank you for your reply.

All windows and shortcuts are set dynamically upon pageload based upon the logged in user permissions. Below is a code snip so you can see the properties assigned to the window / sc.

Hi,

I copied your structure and found that there is no WebDesktopWindow inside. Then, i added a WebDesktopWindow but with no issue. So, perhaps i was missing something in replicating the issue?

Handy

Moving Desktop Windows - sporadic window movements

Hello Alex,

Could you also share your WebDesktop structure? I need it also to replicate your issue.

Moving Desktop Windows - sporadic window movements

alex@millhorn.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:37:06 GMT

Hello,

I have noticed that when I attempt to move an open window on WebDesktopManager, the movement is sporadic. When moving the window less than a couple hundred pixels, I don't notice any problems.... however, when I attempt to move the window to the opposite end of the WebDesktop, especially near the extremities of the desktop, I notice "sporadic" / "jerky" behavior (typically with half of the window being off the page)

I can provide a video snapshot if it will help.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I don't expeirence this issue when moving Windows on the Intersoft Developer Network portal.

Thank you.
