I have legacy Winforms project that I have been attempting to update to make it work in Windows 8. I have gone through all the steps to get my project to work with UIAccess="true" but
when I have this set, 5 of the 10 buttons on my form are not visible in Windows 8.
This program is an onscreen keyboard that also controls cursor position based on information from our special hardware. This software is a toolbar docked to the top of the screen so that it is always visible in order to give people with severe disabilities
complete computer access. When updating for use with Windows 8, we need to be able to be shown even when the Start Screen and full screen apps are shown. Running with UIAccess
= "true" allows us to do that but parts of the form do not show.
I am using VS2008 on a computer running Windows 7. If build/sign/install the program with UIAccess="true" on
Windows 7, the program runs with all the buttons visible. If I install the same program from the same location on Windows 8, the same 5 buttons are never visible. If I set UIAccess="false",
the buttons are visible in both Windows 7 and 8 but I am no longer able to see my form when the Start Screen is visible. I am also not able to find any reason the buttons that disappear are different than the others either in the designer or in my code.
Any ideas why these buttons would disappear?
