Ungroup Client on Taskbar

[xP3NG3Rx 19114]

Hello everyone.

 

If you play or played on gameforge servers you should to know that what is this.

When you are opening more than one clients the icon of the applications (on the windows taskbar) are groupped like 

Spoiler

With this little modification you can do like this(as on gameforge clients work):

Open the EterLib\MSWindow.cpp and paste this under the #include <windowsx.h> line:

#define DISABLE_TASKBAR_GROUPING
#ifdef DISABLE_TASKBAR_GROUPING
#include <Shobjidl.h>
#endif

Then scroll down to the CMSWindow::Create function and search this code:

	if (!m_hWnd)
		return false;

Paste the following code below of that:

#ifdef DISABLE_TASKBAR_GROUPING
	OSVERSIONINFO v;
	v.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
	GetVersionEx(&v);
	if (v.dwMajorVersion == 6 && v.dwMinorVersion >= 1 || v.dwMajorVersion > 6)
	{
		WCHAR myAppID[128];
		swprintf(myAppID, sizeof(myAppID) / sizeof(myAppID[0]), L"MyMetin2AppID%u", GetCurrentProcessId());
		HRESULT hr = SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(myAppID);
		if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
			return false;
	}
#endif

 

The if-statement checks your windows version and if passed, the ungrouping will run. (6.1 is Win7SP1)

Put without #ifdef && #def in MSWindow.cpp, like that:

#include <Shobjidl.h>

 

[xP3NG3Rx 19114]

#define DISABLE_TASKBAR_GROUPING

I've got the same issue as the users above.. Any solutions for that?

[Crystal™ 25]

Hahahahah I've always thought that it was a windows setting for changing this ...Anw thanks for sharing with us this tutorial man!

Good job but have a little problem about "SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID" usage API works on Win7 or later, You already do requirement with GetVersionEx but it is not enough because you are already used "SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID" in your client and builded IAT with this API so when XP or Vista users try run your client he will get this error.

Spoiler

You need call as dynamic, like this;

    OSVERSIONINFO v;
    v.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
    GetVersionEx(&v);
    
    if (v.dwMajorVersion >= 6 && v.dwMinorVersion >= 1)
    {
        WCHAR myAppID[128];
        swprintf(myAppID, sizeof(myAppID) / sizeof(myAppID[0]), L"MyMetin2AppID%u", GetCurrentProcessId());
        
        typedef HRESULT(WINAPI* SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDptr)(_In_ PCWSTR AppID);
        SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDptr SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDo = (SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDptr)GetProcAddress(LoadLibraryA("shell32.dll"), "SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID");
        if (SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDo)
        {
            HRESULT hr = SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelIDo(myAppID);
            if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
                return false;
        }
    }

Sorry but your comment a little bit bullshit.

Are you kidding? I'm just replaced code bug in main post.

[xP3NG3Rx 19114]

My friend, Void tried to say that, the prior operationg systems are out of date to use in this decade, and don't need solution to work on those systems, I think.

ofc yr code isn't bad, but nowaday who want to use XP or S: vista :S damn oh god pls

Only a relevant % of turkish people use XP nowadays. (so, in that case, it's crucial)

Vista users can't even boot windows without getting 2-3 BSOD, so they are not a problem.

Yes, that's a good point, Still a million guys uses Core 2 Duo and windows XP and we're talking about Metin2 so is not a AAA game.

güzel mevzuyu anlamayan arkadaşlar şöyle anlatabilirim.

araç çubuğunuzda minimize yani küçült(aşağı al) butonuna aldığınızdada

aynı oyundan iki tane client çalışıyorsa ayrı ayrı gösteriyor zaten gereksiz

You Lose
