Titlebar goes 'black' and unresponsive in an MFC 'Ribbon' application after (some) screensavers have run by OReubens

Hello,

Thanks for the report. This issue has been fixed in MFC for the next major release of Visual Studio.

I think the same promble is bothering me(using the RibbonGadgets sample in VS2008 feature pack):

Afther executing OpenOrCloseAero(True) to disable Areo effect and then OpenOrCloseAero(False), the bug is reproduced! Ribbon title bar become 'black', and double click the title bar, Maximize Function is unnormal too.

BOOL OpenOrCloseAero(BOOL open)
{
    {
        HRESULT hr = S_OK;
        if (open)
        {
            //enable DWM Composition
            hr = DwmEnableComposition(DWM_EC_ENABLECOMPOSITION);
            if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
                return TRUE;
            else
                return FALSE;
        }
        else
        {
            //Disable DWM Composition
            hr = DwmEnableComposition(DWM_EC_DISABLECOMPOSITION);
            if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
                return TRUE;
            else
                return FALSE;
        }
    }
    return FALSE;
}

I'm not aware of any software to make video to be installed on this version of Windows. There is Windows Moviemaker, but I'm not seeing any means to make a video from the desktop from that. How would you want this made ?

I've uploaded 3 screenshots showing the problem. I'm nto even sure a video would reveal much more than these would.
The machine is a multimonitor setup, I've cropped the image to only show monitor 2. This has VS2010 in the background.

This is the first image, it shows the MFC Ribbon application as it looks after creation via wizard , building and running.

2_After_Screensaver.png
How it looks after the "photos" screensaver has run. (by manually forcing a preview)
Notice the black titlebar.
Notice the odd looking frame, it's no longer "glass".
Notice the buttons in top right aren't visible. Clicking the place where the buttons should be, does nothing.

3_Maximized.png
When in the above state, clicking on the middle of the titlebar maximizes the application.
Note how the repainting isn't working properly, you can see VS2010 "through" the lower/right part of the application.
I've cropped this image to also reveal part of monitor 1. You can see part of a (non glass) frame bleeding into monitor 1.
When the screensaver didn't pop up, this behaves normally and nothing happens in monitor 1.
