Good to know about the XP Command Prompt working in Windows 7 as well.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#11 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:41:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#11 DisplayFusion

Thanks very much for looking into it anyway. http://www.actualtools.com/support/faq/#tr5 may be of interest.

While my console windows don't snap on XP, the XP version of cmd.exe that I'm running on Windows 7, does snap now I've rebooted.

(The Windows 7 command prompt prefixes any title you set using the "title" command with "Administrator: ", obscuring your title on the task bar icon. The XP version runs fine on W7, it doesn't even need any compatibility settings). ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#10 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:23:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#10 DisplayFusion

DF 4.0.0 beta 11 snaps all my console windows on Windows 7, except for the XP version of cmd.exe (which is better than the W7 version).


Do you mean that you're running a WinXP cmd.exe on Win7 via Windows XP Mode? ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#9 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:08:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#9 DisplayFusion We've done some digging into this, and unfortunately it's not possible for us to fix the XP Command Prompt snapping. We're not able to hook the window, as it's part of the OS (whereas in Windows 7 it's been separated out).

Sorry! ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#8 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:21:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#8 DisplayFusion DF 4.0.0 beta 11 snaps all my console windows on Windows 7, except for the XP version of cmd.exe (which is better than the W7 version). ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#7 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:05:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#7 DisplayFusion Ah ok, it's working in Windows 7 now, but I hadn't tested XP. We'll look into it again and hopefully have it fixed up for the next beta.

'fraid not. Most windows snap beautifully but Command Prompt and other console windows (e.g. Perl processes) not at all.

Window snapping does indeed work with a command prompt but only if you have modified the default values (background, font/size, color etc ).


Thanks cH40z. I tried your idea but still no snap. Keith has confirmed the bug anyway. ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#3 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:23:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#3 DisplayFusion Window snapping does indeed work with a command prompt but only if you have modified the default values ( background, font/size, color etc ). ]]> RE: Command Prompt (console) windows won't snap https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#2 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:02:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-prompt-console-windows-wont-snap/?ID=5154aedf-043e-431d-b016-d93c2e0dfa57#2 DisplayFusion Tested and confirmed!
