I use Girder for remote control and I am having a problem with MC15 (15.0.46) on my test/dev machine that is not present on my stable "live" home media machine which still runs MC14. Both run Windows 7.
I can no longer control the window using Windows messages. I don't do much of this - really only Stop, Minimize and Maximize. And I know I can implement the Stop with other mechanisms, but I can't find a way to Minimize and Maximize the MC15 window.
Without needing to setup Girder, the best way to demonstrate the problem is with Process Explorer (if you haven't got it, download from
www.sysinternals.com, which is a Microsoft site). View the list of processes, and with a right click try to minimize or maximize the Media Center process. This works for MC14, but not for MC15. I am guessing that this failure is another occurrence of the problem that stops my Girder working.
Any ideas?
Is this a bug, or a consequence of a design change?
Is there another way to control the state of the MC15 window?
Thanks
Brian
