How to eliminate or close MC windows behind TheaterMode??
« on: March 21, 2007, 09:56:48 pm »
I am trying to set up control of MC 11 from touchscreen, providing access to only Theater and Full Screen modes on Projection TV... no mouse or keyboard... for playing CDs in the HTPC CD tray. 

Problem I'm running into is various windows generated by MC that are not visible (behind Theater Mode) and require a mouse to cancel.  When these windows are active (waiting for response), cannot send Windows Messages to MC.  Examples are "Multiple Match" window from Online CD Lookup, or warning that no media is available when CD is ejected.  Is there a way to force MC to take default paths on these / not generate them?  Or otherwise to close them without leaving Theater Mode?   ?

If you purchased MC since september 06, I would recommend upgrading to MC12, your MC11.1 license should work with MC12.
The have been many improvements to Theater View in MC12.

Took your advice and tried MC12.  Does have better mgmt of child windows... at least they are visible.  Useing these along with Girder to select cancel and recover, I am able to accomplish reliable control using only TheaterView and a touchscreen.

Thanks

You're most welcome! :)

I miss-spoke, the upgrade is free if you have MC 11.1 and a escribed above not MC 11.0. Glad it worked for you.

Only versions of MC11.1 after Sept, 2006.  It doesn't apply to earlier versions.
