Hi,
I have a problem making my application forms "topmost". I have a
costomer who wants them to be on top of all other windows
applications.
I can't achieve it without getting extra buttons in the taskbar for
all my forms.
This is how I do:
I make the forms "topmost" by overriding CreateParams:
procedure TMainForm.CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams);
begin
inherited CreateParams(Params);
with Params do begin
WndParent := GetDesktopwindow;
ExStyle := ExStyle or WS_EX_TOPMOST;
end;
end;
By setting WndParent := GetDesktopwindow I make it topmost of all
windows on my computer, not only those in my application.
This works excellent except:
My application now suddenly has two buttons in the taskbar.
Obviously one button comes from the application window and the other
from my MainForm.
But I only want one button for the whole application!
Also I have several other forms that are open at the same time as the
MainForm and when I make them topmost in a similar way the also get
one button each, which I don't want.
Anyone knowing how I can get rid of those extra taskbar buttons and
still make my forms globally topmost?
I tried to make it a toolbar window, but cannot accept the thinner
caption bar of this window type.
BR,
Lars Stahre
