Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Smart Taskbar using Excel 2002 with the Visual Basic Editor

Using the visual basic editor on my secondary monitor, with Excel on the primary monitor has always caused some sort of oddity with Ultramon. With 2.1 however, the oddity is pretty frusterating.

With the configuration above, if I am working on the visual basic code from the editor on the secondary monitor, then click back to the primary monitor, a second taskbar item for the same excel file is added to the windows taskbar.

This becomes frusterating when it's not the excel file I am trying to access. If I want to maximize another program that's open on the primary monitor, trying to click on the item in the taskbar doesn't work because it moves as soon as I click and the second Excel entry is made in the taskbar.

Does this make sense?

Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it for the next release.

BTW, only seems to happen if you have more than one workbook open.

Good observation. I hadn't realized that.

As a test, I also tried it with two instances of excel open, each with one workbook. The bug happens in that situation also. I would have guessed that it wouldn't.

Anyway, I'm now looking very forward to the next service release!

Haha! Didn't mean for all that bold. Should have read.
