FIX: A window for an XAML application unexpectedly becomes the foreground window when screen rotation is run in Windows Embedded Compact 7

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based image that includes the SYSGEN_XAMLRUNTIME component on a device.
  • You run two applications on the device, and one of the applications is an XAML application. For example, you include the following components to run WordPad and the Music Player application:
    • SYSGEN_PWORD
    • SYSGEN_MUSIC_PLAYER (an XAML application)
  • You click the WordPad icon on the taskbar to set the WordPad application as the foreground window.
  • You use the Run dialog box to run an application that calls the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx() function to rotate the screen.

In this scenario, the Music Player application is unexpectedly in the foreground window. However, the taskbar icon shows that the WordPad application is in the foreground window.

Cause

This problem occurs because the XAMLRuntime module does not keep the z-order for an XAML application when the module handles screen rotation.
