The Icetips Window Fixer is a set of templates and classes that checks window positions and sizes when windows are opened to make sure that they are visible. When window sizes and positions are set to save and restore in your application it can cause problems and it may place windows outside of the virtual screen, so the user cannot see the windows and thinks the program has crashed.
Note that the classes are NOT ABC compliant and can be used in any kind of projects, included purely handcoded projects.
