Designer Form - TaskBar Problem

rbuser

Hello

i would like to show the Designer not modal, and i get some problems with
the task handling from windows

i use following code :

ppDesigner1.Show;

(*
SetWindowLong(ppDesigner1.Form.Handle,
GWL_EXSTYLE,GetWindowLong(ppDesigner1.Form.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE) or
WS_EX_APPWINDOW);
ppDesigner1.Form.ParentWindow := GetDesktopWindow;
*)


i tried some things but nothing seems to help

the problem is, that i get an additional icon in the taskbar, but if i
switch to it, allways the main form gets in front

is there a workaround? (useing delphi 6)

some other workarounds i found for such thing, is to overwrite the
CreateParams of the form, but i tried it and after that i got some errors :
"raCalc is compiled with a different version of ppDsgn" - how can i change
this?

regards
andi

Hi Andreas,

1. Which version of ReportBuilder are you currently using? In my testing
with RB 10.06, clicking on either taskbar icon will bring the designer up as
the focused form.

2. Since we do not provide the source to RAP, you cannot alter any of the
interface code of the RBuilder source and successfully compile. You will
need to keep the changes to the implementation section or disable RAP.

Andreas,

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue. Please give me the exact steps I
can take to recreate the problem on my machine and I'll try it.

Use ppReportExplorer property ModalForm, set it to false.
