Charms bar don't show up

[dengxk1234]

I compiled this program with Visual Studio 2022 myself. When I ran this program on Windows 10 22H2 and tried to call up the Charms bar, it did not appear, but the current window has lost focus. What's the problem?

[Icepenguins101]

The issue is because it’s trying to take the focus out of the window and putting itself as the current active element. If it doesn’t appear then it’s initializing itself.

Another question: My system language is Chinese, so is this question related to the language?
What was the initialization you mentioned earlier? Do I need to wait or do something else?
Thanks for your reply.

[Icepenguins101]

No, the Chinese language isn’t the reason.

Initalization means that it needs to be activated again and requires to be slow and steady.

Hmm... I'm using the latest version. The bar shows but not displayed on the screen.

[Icepenguins101]

This could be a multi-monitor issue.

[dengxk1234]

That's weird. I tested the program in another desktop PC and it worked fine. But it doesn't work in my laptop...

[Icepenguins101]

I developed the program under 1600x900, this could possibly be why it’s offscreen. Is the resolution lower?

[dengxk1234]

Also, my laptop has a touch screen but it doesn't have the EdgeUI key and the settings are all not changed.

[Icepenguins101]

Hmm. I can see that DPI scaling could be a problem for the program. I’ll see what I can do.

[dengxk1234]

You're right. It works fine on my laptop when it's 100% scaled.

[Icepenguins101]

I’ll try to fix the DPI scaling problem as soon as possible.

[Icepenguins101]

New update fixes DPI scaling.

It can now work on my laptop, but it doesn't work fine, see the video.

Hmm… Flickering when items are moused over, I see. This could possibly be a rendering issue. I would love to try to patch this, but this would take me a while to figure out how to resolve this.

I am having the same issue on my HP ProBook 650 G5

Try this and see if it still flickers.

[dengxk1234]

It still flickers.

[Icepenguins101]

Unfortunately, the bug may be impossible to fix. I am considering to outsource it to another C# WPF developer temporarily to patch the problem since this is beyond my knowledge to understand how to fix this problem.

[dengxk1234]

So any progress now?

[Icepenguins101]

Unfortunately, no. I’m still looking for people who can help with the project since I’ve not been focusing for a week or so.
