Cinema 4D

Prevent windows being forced into regions.

What's affected?

All MaxTo features are disabled for this application.

This is usually done for applications that crash when MaxTo attempts to interact with them.

Cinema 4D inadvertently tells Windows that its window has been maximized whenever you roll the mouse wheel. This triggers MaxTo to place the window into a region. This shim completely disables MaxTo for all Cinema 4D windows.

Can be disabled

This shim can be disabled in MaxTo if you go to Options, Compatibility, and clicking on Cinema 4D. You should find a toggle switch to disable it.

Note that shims should only be disabled if you have a legitimate reason to do so, and accept that disabling them may cause applications to crash.

What are compatibility shims?

Compatibility shims are our way of telling MaxTo that some programs react badly to being handled by some of MaxTo's functionality.

Each compatibility shim has a description text and a list of functionality that is affected. Some are small and do not result in loss of functionality, others cause MaxTo not to work at all (and the reason for the compatibility shim then is simply to prevent apps from crashing).

This list is kept up to date outside of MaxTo's release cycle, and will be updated automatically by MaxTo.
