Toggle Wikipedia icon

Hi, gents.  :)

A nice addon for my VFR flights that is. Seems like I've missed it all the years.  :-[

However, I wonder if there is a way to toggle the Wikipedia icon (the red one in the screen centre) after one has used it.

Once activated, the only option I can see is the global Wikipedia disable/enable option in the XPOI config. But I'm looking for a simple 'disable current Wikipedia compass' option in the Ctrl-F11 menu. Otherwise, the red pointer in the middle of the screen stays there unlimited time.



Another question is the way XPOI handles the maximized FSX window after using the XPOI config. The maximized window always gets reset to the state with the window borders, which triggers a sort of screen rebuild and then forces another one when the user clicks on the maximize button again, to get rid of the borders.
This also happens when I access the key mapping menu, while the access of e. g. the Addon Manager leaves the screen size intact.

Thanks for your help.  :)

The default key for the Wikipedia menu it's CTRL+F9 and, if you open it then close it without selecting any entry, if there's a Wikipedia icon active, it will disappear.

Doesn't happen here. XPOI restores the FSX Window in the same way it was before opening the menu. It's just that it might take a bit to do it, and you should't try to interfere with the keyboard while the screen is switching.

Thanks for your answer. I will try the feature on the Wikipedia icon. I must have missed it.  :-X

On the maximized window, it still is maximized after accessing the XPOI or keyboard bindings dialogue, but it received a complete window frame, instead of just being 'normal maximized' and only showing the title bar. Hard to explain, but I only get it with those two options from the menu.
However, if I stay the only person with that problem, so may it be. Not a biggie.

Edited. I've attached two pictures of this different maximized window I'm talking about. Note the borders on the second one. Both windows cover the same screen size.




Those boarders lead to the resizing of the FSX window. If I then double click the title bar, I have my maximized window back of course, but this again forces a moment of window resizing. As this only happens with the two options mentioned, I found it to be worth a note. As said, no biggie and maybe on my system only. Although I wonder why.

Ok, now I see it too, the real issue is not the borders, is the fact that, when you return from a maximized mode, XPOI restores the Window according to its normal non-maximized size.

In your specific case, they are set very similar, because you exited from FSX with the Window maximized so, FSX stored that size as the regular size in the fsx.cfg, which means the basically are the same, except for the borders.

We'll try to see if there's a fix.

I was answering about returning from full-screen mode instead.

CoolP:
No problem and thanks for the fast answers of yours. The product is real fun and I blame myself for not having it since it came out.  :)
