Why is my app not compatible with WindowBlinds 11?
Stardock Forums
Hi,
I am using:
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)
WindowBlinds 11.02 (017 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS
I wrote more than 20 years ago a Windows text editor using at the time the very low level C WIN32 API.
There is a lot of code, and nowadays this would have been written with the more elaborate classes that VisualStudio offers, but it's out of the question to re-write it.
My app is just not compatible with WindowsBlind, the vertical toolbar is mangled and does not work at all.
It disappears when the window is resized or when you try to use it.
Here is how it looks excluded and not excluded:

Below is a sample of the code. There are a lot of lines, it's hard to know what is relevant though.
Is that enough to know what to change to make my app compatible with WB11?
