Taskbar change history
----------------------
version 1.00 : Initial version.
version 1.01 : Fixed appearance of dialog boxes when program
is being run under OS2 2.1 or 2.11.
version 1.02 : Added small icon support for Warp users.
Minor code changes to try to minimize the
program's memory requirements.
version 1.03 : Fixed z-order problem that in some cases
would prevent the text descriptions from
showing.
version 1.04 : Fixed problem where installation script
would die after executing BOOTDRIV command.
Added optional visual indicator of which
edge of the display is the current location
of the taskbar.
Quit using WS_SAVEBITS attribute for main
taskbar window and bubble help windows in
order to work around various PM screen
corruption bugs.
version 1.05 : Added ability to close/hide/minimize/maximize
windows from taskbar. Added option to have the
Warp launchpad automatically float to the top
of the window stack whenever the taskbar popup
is displayed.
version 2.00 : 1) Program settings reorganized into a settings
notebook.
2) The icons for seamless Windows applications
now show up correctly. (Getting these icons
requires the use of several undocumented
features in OS/2. If you should come across
a version of OS/2 where this doesn't work,
*please* let me know so I can (hopefully) fix
it.)
3) Double-clicking with mouse button 1 on a
program's button in the taskbar will
hide/minimize the program.
4) Any shift key + mouse button 2 will close
a program.
5) The width of the indicator bar can now be adjusted.
6) Added option to sort taskbar entries by window
z-order.
7) Added hot key capability similar to the Windows
Alt-Tab feature. The hot keys on program installation
are Ctrl+Alt+'>' (go forward through window list) and
Ctrl+Alt+'<' (go backward through window list).
8) The taskbar activation hook now checks whether a
mouse button is being pressed or if a window has
captured the mouse and does not activate the taskbar
if either of those conditions are true. This will
hopefully reduce the problem of accidentally activating
the taskbar when dragging items around at the edge of
screen.
9) Increased the speed of the display of the bubble-help
text, especially when the text overlaps a seamless
Windows window.
10)Added ability to remove programs from the task list.
11)In order to deal with ill-behaved programs such as the
OS/2 system editor, we now get a program's title from
the text in its titlebar rather than its window list title.
version 2.50 : 1) Taskbar rewritten to function as a Workplace Shell object.
Due to differences in the implementation of SOM in OS/2 2.x
and Warp, there are now separate OS/2 2.x and Warp versions
of the program.
2) Fixed problem where virtual desktop programs such as
9Lives would move the taskbar program's windows to a
location outside the screen boundaries.
3) For Warp users only: custom icons for DOS sessions and
OS/2 character mode sessions should now be displayed
correctly.
4) Program titles now include the Workplace Shell view
name, ie Icon View, Details View, etc.
5) Fixed problems with installation script.
6) Documentation revised.
7) Fixed problem with hot-key function and programs such as
Excel for OS/2 which instead of using multiple threads like
they're supposed to, use the WinPeekMsg function to avoid
locking up the system input queue.
8) Added on-line help.
9) Fixed minor problem in settings notebook.
10)In order to alleviate the accidental activation problem,
the taskbar can be set up to activate when the mouse is
moved to a specified corner of the screen.
