RIM OS differences

 [1/3] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 29-Nov-2001 23:17


RIM grabs focus on NT when a new message appears, but Ladislav tells me that under W2k, it just changes the icon colour in the task bar. -- Graham Chiu

This is because 98 and 2K work differently than 95 and NT. M$ decided with 98 that when a window gets focus, if its not the active application, it should just do funny stuff with your task button instead. Complain to M$, I think the have a special place for such things on one of their AS/400's. --Ryan Graham Chiu wrote:

-- Ryan Cole Programmer Analyst www.iesco-dms.com 707-468-5400 The contradiction so puzzling to the ordinary way of thinking comes from the fact that we have to use language to communicate our inner experience which in its very nature transcends lingistics. -D.T. Suzuki
