I previously reported an issue where Ranorex was clicking on taskbar icons rather than the actual elements. I managed a work around, but it required a method call each time I needed to use it.
I've found another approach that I'd like some input on. I found a solution over at CodeCall that just hides the taskbar. I'd like to get some community thoughts on this method from a best practices perspective. Are there cons that I'm not seeing to implementing such a solution?
Does anyone know if this will still work in Windows 10?

Show/Hide Taskbar during execution

Re: Show/Hide Taskbar during execution
Hi Douglas,
I was facing a similar problem a while ago and for me, the solution was to turn of the "Auto-hide"-function of the taskbar.
I took a look on the mentioned codecall post, but unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with VB. So I can't give you any recommendations on this.
I hope this helps.

Re: Show/Hide Taskbar during execution
I think I'd prefer for a coded implementation of "Auto-hide", but I wasn't able to find an example of that. The biggest drawback of the code sample I pointed to is that if the code is terminated before the taskbar is reset, it will be gone. There are a number of easy ways to implement a work around for that situation, but the easiest workaround is to not need a workaround.asdf wrote:Hi Douglas,
