Replied by support on topic Computer Browser Dialog Minimizes after Acknowledgement
This is a known issue, and unfortunately, one for which we have no fix, just possible workarounds.

As you may have noticed, this dialog is different from all the others. It actually has no functionality that has to do with OPC, and is kind of a bonus. It is implemented by calling a Microsoft dialog from a Shell library - and that's where the problem really is, therefore we cannot easily fix it.

Possible workarounds include:

1. Attempt to restore your application window from the code after the dialog is finished.

2. Consider whether you actually need to select the computer separately. Many times, what is required is to select a particular OPC server on the network, and therefore, the OpcComputerAndServer dialog (or UAHostAndEndpoint dialog) is better suited for that.

3. You can get about the same functionality by using OpcBrowseDialog instead, and set its .Mode.SelectElementType to Computer.

Best regards

Computer Browser Dialog Minimizes after Acknowledgement was created by mikeboiko
Hi,

Whenever I click Ok or Cancel on the Computer Browser Dialog, my application minimizes. This does not seem to happen for Server or Item dialogs.

I am using QuickOPC version 5.31.1424.1

Can you please help me fix this issue?

Thanks,
Mike
