Lazarus apps launched from RDP are not visible in TaskBar - freepascal

This is mainly a Lazarus issue but it also applies to Remote Desktop on a Windows server.
We have a app called "Menu", it has buttons that launch other applications, some of them being written in Lazarus, and others in WinDev.
Everything is working very well when used on a local computer or in a remote desktop environment.
Our IT department made a ".rdp" file which starts our "Menu" application stored in the remote desktop, and the application appears in a local window, instead of being on the full remote desktop.
The problem is the following: the "Menu" application's taskbar icon is visible, but the applications that are started from the Menu are not visible : the ones that are written in WinDev show their taskbar icon, and the ones that are written in Lazarus do not show their taskbar icon.
Also, using Alt+Tab on the keyboard, we do not see them in the miniatures.
But when I minimize an application, then its icon suddenly appears on the TaskBar !
In the Lazarus applications, the default icons are setup in the project as usual.
The projects are compiled with Lazarus 2.0.12.
Hopefully someone here has already encountered this problem before ?
If so, would you be so kind to guide me in the correct way to solve this ?
Thanks.

Visual Studio will not run things in browser and certain shortcuts do nothing

I'm new to JavaScript (/html in general) and to visual studio. I seem to have two different issues: I'm having trouble running code in browsers, and some of the keyboard shortcuts are broken.
I've recently installed Visual Studio 2017. Everything seems great except I need a way to test my open file. I've looked online at certain guides which tell me to configure the task runner to be able to do so. The problem is, to get to the tasks.json which I need to edit, I have to open the command palette with ctrl + shift + p, which doesn't seem to work. Additionally, I can't find any other way to open the command palette using the bar at the top nor can I find any other way to open tasks.json. Also, I noticed that I should be able to run code in browser using the "View in Browser (Google Chrome)" and "Browse With..." options under "file". The keyboard shortcut doesn't work for View in Browser, and when I click on both options, I get a dialogue box with the error "The operation could not be completed. Class not registered".
How can I set things up properly, or at least be able to properly test my code?
I think what you need is Visual Studio Code, not Microsoft Visual Studio.
Both were similar but target different programming platform.
If you want to develop web application, HTML/CSS/ts/js etc, better if you use VS Code.

Using Google Chrome as bundled runtime for HTML app?

I have an HTML application that run offline, and I want to end up with a way to open the app from an exe file on Windows. I have tried Visual Studio, but the app does not run in the WebBrowser component.
I am pretty sure I have read that I can use Chrome (or some kind of Chrome version of Chrome) as a "bundled runtime", but I have a really hard time finding anything about it. Does it exist?
Using chrome as an engine (instead of "web views" based on Internet Explorer) would also make sure that the application would run nice on computers which has not updated Windows or browsers for a while.
You must be thinking of CEF: the Chromium Embedded Framework.

Changes not visible when running debugger, web development VS 2013

I'm having periodic issues with changes I make to a website I'm building with VS not showing up when I run the VS debugger. For example, sometimes if I delete a section of code it still appears when I run the code using the VS debugger. This issue doesn't happen that often, and seems to appear and disappear randomly. If I go into the project's folder and manually open (double-click) the .html page I'm working on I can see my changes, so I know it's an issue with VS.
Is there something obvious I'm missing? I've just started using VS for web development, and as far as I know I'm using all the default settings.
Thanks!
Clean and built your project and try again dude.

VWD 2010 express in Windows 7 design mode problems

So far I was using VWD 2010 express quite smoothly on Windows XP. Now I have got a new laptop - with Windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday I installed VWD 2010 express. I transfered all my data to the new laptop. When I open an existing project, it opened well and even runs very well. But when I am design mode I have lots of problems like
Cursor is not seen in the .aspx page and scrolling does not work. Cant edit anything. However .aspx.cs works normally
when I press Ctrl + F, Find window opens up but when I give find next, the instance is not seen and the page does not navigate to the instance
When I double click on a file in the solution explorer, i dont see it open. But when I minimise the entire VWD and maximise it, I see that the clicked page is open.
sometimes (mostly just after the project is loaded) part of the screen is black and when i minimise VWD and maximise, the page is properly shown.
I tried Repair and also uninstalled and reinstalled the entire VWD 2010 express - the problem still exists. I dont know what problem it could be. I did not encounter any problem while installing VWD. Could this be a VWD problem or memory problem (8GB RAM) or graphic card(dedicated) problem? Any help is highly appreciated.
I solved the issue yesterday, I logged in to the forum today to post my solution so that it helps someone later. Here is what I did:
I opened the "Compatibility Troubleshooter" in the control panel and identitified that there is a compatibility issue. So I made changes to open VWDexpress in the compatible mode (In my case it was Windows XP service pack2) and saved the settings. Now it works very well.

no new window for HTML pages in Visual Studio 2010?

I've tried this on two different machines now on Windows 7 and it appears that the Window > New Window menu command is not available in Visual Studio 2010. It doesn't work for HTML, .aspx, and .js files, but does work for .css, .cs, and .xaml files. Has anyone else noticed this or knows why this is?
(I have the productivity power tools extension installed)
I found a registry entry at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Languages\Language Services\HTML]
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Languages\Language Services\HTML]
for 64 bit machines
called "Single Code Window Only"
I deleted it and the menu command showed up!
Then I made a new window, and it was completely blank.
I checked with Visual Studio 8 and found the same thing. Apparently they have not implemented "new window" for some file types.
Apparently they had started to implement it for Visual Basic Files, but had it disabled because it hadn't been thoroughly tested yet ( http://msmvps.com/blogs/deborahk/archive/2010/05/17/visual-studio-window-new-window.aspx ).
