Minimizing IDE window doesn't works

[Asad]

On clicking the minimize icon/symbol at the top right, the MikroC Pro (4.60) compiler's IDE window fails to minimize. 9 times out of 10, it will fail to minimize and remains occupying the screen. If 'show desktop' is clicked in the task bar, the IDE minimizes to the task bar but as soon as any other application is executed which has a window, the MikroC IDE window pops back on the screen.

Will MikroC developers look into this issue and see what is causing it?

Hi!

This is a known Delphi - Windows OS issue. Therefore, it is not our fault.
The workaround is to click the Restore button (Task Bar) and the Minimize feature will work OK.

mmmm
Same thing with MBpro4.8
Started having this problem on my XP system but Not on my vista laptop.
Did a heap of things to try and resolve the problem.
Ended up coppying files from the vista box to the xp box.
After a LOT of trial and error , I found that the file 'settings.ini ' would fix the problem.
there is an entry in there called ShowCmd
In the Vista box it was ShowCmd=1
& the XP box it was ShowCmd=2

Changed the value to 1 & Ye Ha . Problem fixed.
