Minimize to the task bar

rbuser

Hi,

RB 9.x

Is there any built in function to minimize the preview to the task bar
instead of the current behaviour?

No. One solution is to use the Application.OnActivate event to bring the
active form to the front. This will result in the modal window always being
brought to the front when tasks are switched. (I do not know why the VCL
does not do this automatically - seems like a bug to me).

Example:


if Screen.ActiveForm.WindowState = wsMinimized then
Screen.ActiveForm.WindowState := wsMaximized;

Screen.ActiveForm.BringToFront;

Nard,

Thanks, works fine.
It would be nice to automatically have it on the task bar when the preview
is minimized.
