it bugs me too.
It seems it is not working because the XY main window (class ThunderRT6FormDC) is owend by the window with class ThunderRT6Main. If i remove the owner for testing with
Code: Select all
SetWindowLongPtr((HWND)0xWindowIDOfMainWindow, GWLP_HWNDPARENT, 0);
it works as accepted. The taskbar button is now moving with the main window. This is not the solution but maybe a hint why it is not working atm.

Thanks, that explains it indeed. And it also shows that it's a Windows bug. Sorry, but I cannot do anything about it.

Seems to be a VB6 framework problem:

litte pogram to fix it (long term testing pending...):
Code: Select all
#include <Windows.h>
int main()
{
//Assuming its the only VB6 program...
HWND xp_window = ::FindWindowA("ThunderRT6FormDC", 0);
if (!xp_window || !GetWindow(xp_window, GW_OWNER))
{
return 0;
}
SetWindowLongPtr(xp_window, GWLP_HWNDPARENT, 0);
return 0;
}
Is it possible run a exe (via xy xcript?) on xy startup? so i could run this litte program during xy start. if not i will start it via AutoHotkey script.

Ofc.
/script parameter for XY
and the script command
I've made a compiled (PureBasic) .exe out of the posted code and moving XYs window
to a different monitor will move it's taskbar entry just fine...

XY_Taskbar icon fixer (v1.0)
You can either run it (once) via a
/script="run 'path\XY_Taskbar icon fixer.exe';"
command line call to XYplorer
or in a "forever" mode (it runs until you end it) with:
XY_Taskbar icon fixer.exe --forever
It's recommended to run it with --forever and start it via the task scheduler with "[x] Run with hightest privileges"
if you want to catch XYplorer instances that run elevated (with admin permissions).
In "--forever" mode, it'll check each second if a XYplorer window is still owned and removes that so that you can put it on any monitor and the taskbar icon moves with it...

When I tried XY_Taskbar icon fixer on Win 11, I get an error saying "linker.txt file not found!", with the message box titled "XY_Taskbar icon fixer - Fatal error". Any suggestions
