Hi Lars, One of my applications lets the user decide whether the program should be on top or not. I just toggle the FormStyle between fsNormal and fsStayOnTop.
Hope this helps Raymond "lars_stahre" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [email protected] 09/10/2007 08:40 AM 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 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
