Hello,

WinMySQLadmin.exe version 1.4 is very confusing to use

=20

=20

Description: remark 1:

When the buttons on the title area of the WinMySQLadmin window are used =
in
the normal way, the result of closing the window will be shutdown of the
tool.

Compare this situation with for example the icons for Virus Scanner and =
Fire
Wall in the system tray of the Windows screen. You do not stop the Virus
Scanner or Fire Wall by opening and closing a window for that tool.

How-To-Repeat: remark 1:

When the WinMySQLadmin window is opened with the SHOW ME button on the =
icon
in the system tray of the Microsoft Windows screen, than you would =
expect
that this window is closed with the X button at the top right corner of =
this
window.

But the result of the X button is stoppage of the tool, so the MySQL =
icon is
removed from the system tray of the Windows screen.

You get the same result when you use the "system button" (MySQL icon) on =
the
top left corner of this window, and than select "close".

Fix: remark 1:

The X button at the top right corner of the WinMySQLadmin window should =
be
identical to the HIDE ME button, so it should NOT be identical to the
SHUTDOWN THIS TOOL button.

The same applies to the MySQL button at the top left corner of the =
window.

Description: remark 2:

The traffic light icon gives the impression that it gives a real-time
indication of the status of the MySQL server, because the color of the
traffic light changes to red when the button STOP THE SERVICE is used, =
and
changes to green when the button START THE SERVICE is used.

But this impression is not true, because it does not gives the correct
indication when the server is started or stopped with commands on the =
MS-DOS
window.=20

=20

How-To-Repeat: remark 2:

Start with a normal situation, so the traffic light is green and the =
MySQL
server is working.

Give command NET STOP MYSQL on the MS-DOS command line with prompt
C:\MySQL\bin>

The MySQL server is stopped, but the MySQL traffic light remains green =
in
the system tray of Microsoft Windows.

In this situation I would expect a red traffic light, just like the
situation where the STOP THE SERVICE button on the WinMySQLadmin tool =
was
used.

Give command NET START MYSQL on the MS-DOS command line with prompt
C:\MySQL\bin>

Now the green traffic light is showing the correct color.

Fix: remark 2:

No information.
