If you talk about Delphi 1 - this is a bug in forms.pas, the (pseudo) window
that is responsible for the application and the entry in the taskbar has the
wrong type. It can be solved by patching the VCL source:
In TApplication.Create change the CreateWindow to the following
FHandle := CreateWindow(WindowClass.lpszClassName, ModuleName,
WS_POPUP or WS_VISIBLE or WS_CLIPSIBLINGS or WS_SYSMENU
or WS_MINIMIZEBOX or WS_CAPTION,
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) div 2,
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) div 2,
0, 0, 0, 0, HInstance, nil);
Only drawback: in NT4 the icon of the application isn't set correctly, it
seems the WoW-machine of NT4 is too Win3.1 compatible. I haven't found a
solution to this yet, can anyone else help?
Bye,
Andy
