We just upgraded to wIntegrate 6.4.5 and a taskbar is missing. It used to appear between the header and the File, Open, Save, etc. taskbar.  See attached.

What is the trick to have that taskbar showing during WIN-EDIT sessions.

Hi,

Try the below that was sent to me from Rocket many years ago (around 2019), and it worked for me at that time.

 

***

In the past when the edit option has been missing from the toolbar the resolution was to close the editor, delete all content of the following registry key (and the key "Workspace" too):
 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Rocket Software\wIntegrare Editor\Workspace

Close all wintegrate sessions and restart them.

Additionally please check Setup > Preferences to see if the toolbar options have been changed there.

Also, is there documentation for WIN.PROGS anywhere?

Mike,

The problem is a configuration issue, not a scripting one.  The article, although appreciated, did not provide any solution.

I am attaching a screen shot of what we had with WIN.EDIT under wItegrate 6.4.0 highlighting the missing toolbar (in 6.4.5)

I’m sorry, Nelson.  What I was trying to give you with the link was the base URL for accessing the complete wIntegrate documentation for 6.4.5.  That’s something I could not quite lay my finger on, so I showed you the link to as high up one chain of the doc set as I could find.  The point was supposed to be that buried within the complete manual set are the answers to BOTH of your questions.  Since we have not installed 6.4.5 anywhere I cannot speak to your specific issues you are seeing; however, I do know you can navigate/search from what I gave your to here: (Search Results) for example and  this (wIntegrate Host Subroutines Reference V6.4.4 - which unfortunately is not quite the same version set as you are asking for).
So, perhaps Rocket can jump in and give you a better answer than this.

We are currently starting to upgrade to 6.4.5 as well so I gave it a look on our system.  Initially, my wintegrate editor seemed to have 2 windows and I had both the menu bar and the command bar being shown.  I clicked the window and was given the various options to move/resize/maximize/minimize/etc that are typical for applications.  I think I selected maximize and at that point my menu bar and command bar went away.

I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it back either.  I just wanted to share that my setup initially DID have both of these options but then they went away after I did certain actions.

Rashid,

It is a shame that one has to hack the registry to get wIntegrate to return to normalcy.

Your regedit trick did the job!

Thanks,

Nelson
