Windows Bar Unneccessary icons

edited April 2003 in End User
I have dowloaded my Update from 6.03 to 7.02 (registered user). Delphi 5
Environment

Now I am a little astonished about the many icons in the windows bar.
E.g. I open my Application so that I get it displayed in the window bar like
MyApp. Now I open the Enduser interface (No changes to before) but now I get
an icon in the windows bar like "Enduser Interface" depends how I named the
window.The I enter into the Design mode und suddenly I get the third Icon in
the Windows Bar :-(

Why? Did I made something wrong? I would be please to have only one entry in
the windows bar.

I hope I descriped this behaviour clearly.

Regards
Nicolas

    We changed the behavior to work this way after it was requested by other
    customers. The behavior which was not desired is when you minimize one of
    these forms in 6.03- it goes above the task bar and we receive complaints
    that it worked this way and that end users were confused about this behavior
    that Delphi forms give them by default. So we changed them to always be
    located to the task bar. You can revert the report explorer and preview form
    behavior to work the way it did in RB 6.03 by replacing the forms and
    registering a new descendent which does not override the CreateParams method
    of the form. The RBuilder Tutorials work this way by default- the custom
    preview form and custom report explorer form do not override the
    CreateParams and work the way it used to in RB 6.03. Note: the designer form
    cannot be replaced and you can't change the behavior for it to work the way
    it used to in 6.03.
