The "VisibleOnScreen" property becomes "False" when running on Windows7

I loaded the same project which has been running on Windowx XP  ( with TC verssion 8.0) to Windows 7 computer (with TC 8.1).

The "VisibleOnScreen" property on all the visible objects becomes "False" on Windows 7 computer. I can not highlight any GUI control on the screen and I got the message:"Cannot highlight this object on screen". But the "Visible" property is "True" and "Visibility = "Visible" too.

  Any clue about this?

    Hi Jennifer,





    The most probable cause of the problem is Windows Aero. Try disabling it and let me know whether this helps.





    Please tell me in what language your application is written and post here the full name of the problematic object. I would also appreciate it if you posted here an image of the object.





    BTW, do you face this problem with a specific object or with any objects in your application? Does the issue occur with other applications?
