Working in this. Trying to figure out why notifications are not getting through in the x64 version


I can't compile bbInterface, because MinGW does not support gdiplus. I would like to try to get a 32bit plugin loader working, which would make it unnecesary to recompile all the plugins.

I have a 64-bit toolchain working again, so I'll try to get some work done here.

This is caused by Outpost's Self-protection function if you have it enabled.
To fix it (this applies to my version - I haven't tried it with any other - I am using Outpost Pro 2009 Trial 6.5.2358):
Open Outpost using the start menu programs.
Go to the 'Host Protection' tab. If you don't see Self-protection:Enabled then the cause is something else unfortunately.
Under Self-protection-Exclusions select 'view list'
Select 'add'
Navigate to your blackbox program folder and select blackbox.exe to add it to your exceptions.
That's it - the systray icon should now work.

Be aware that this could constitute as a security hole - I have no idea if doing this allows any of the processes running under blackbox to have exclusion status.

I'm shocked! Long Mode!!! Very beauty!
I don't know still about the project.
Very Well!

and is this sources for mingw compils? is it possible?

Just an updated version to add support for the network, volume and other icons under vista.
Also features re-organised tray code internally, so if you see something weird happening in the tray, give me shout.

Attached is a zip file as well as an NSIS installer. The installer currently just extracts the files to the install folder, nothing special (hopefully I can get it to do more later)

EDIT : This release is outdated, get the newer one further down unless you really want an installer

Thank you carsomyr for the the efforts and time you invest in the project! It is much appreciated by all the x64 users, such as me, for one. I've used your mod on XP x64 and keep using it now on Vista x64. And here is some feedback to your advantage. I downloaded the archived version and extracted the blackbox.exe, bbkeys.dll, winkeyhook.dll, & bbleanbar.dll to their respective folders (in an existing installations). Upon firing up the blackbox.exe I get this window:

When I click 'OK' the shell is up and running. I don't know what this message means, but I hope it is of some help to you [: The network icon that I can now see in the tray display a tooltip on mouseover, but clicking it does nothing. Hopefully this helps. Keep up the good work!

Copy the file "blackbox.exe.manifest" into the same folder as blackbox.exe. That will fix the popup (its included in the zip file)

The new vista icons expect to be treated differently form nomral tray icons ( a new vista feature). Getting that working is currently high on my list.

Thanks for the feedback

New release featuring working clicks on the vista icons. Their popups still don't appear on the right places, but at least they appear
Volume is top left, Network is top right (at least on my comp). I think they are looking for (and not finding) part of the vista taskbar to position themselves.

This release is a zip only. Only blackbox.exe and bbleanbar.dll have changed from the release yesterday, so just copy them if you already have that. Also remember to copy blackbox.exe.manifest if you are upgrading from an older build which does not have it.

EDIT: File removed. Get the next one

Small changes since yesterday. The main advantage today is...
We make the welcome screen dissapear quickly under Vista

For Dev's of other branches seeing this anouncement:
The event to trigger is "ShellDesktopSwitchEvent" under vista, where it is "msgina: ShellReadyEvent" under previous windows versions.
This thanks to ironhead's posting it on the emerge forums (http://emergedesktop.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2763)

Wow! Sweetness incarnate! Thank you in the extreme for both helping me out and resolving that nagging issue vista had with *box! Much appreciated everything you do!

That's great, thanks for the heads-up Carsomyr! (and please pass my thanks on to ilmcuts/ironhead if you happen to bump into them! )
