I didn't get any useful responses with my first try, so I'll try again. I'm sure this is possible somehow. I'm using D7 which doesn't have PopupMode and PopupParent properties...
I'm overriding CreateParams of a child form so it can have a separate taskbar and also not be minimized when the main form is minimized, like this... Params.ExStyle := Params.ExStyle or WS_EX_APPWINDOW; Params.WndParent := GetDesktopWindow; But I have a visual problem when I ShowModal a form from this child form, it displays the applications main form under the modal form, instead of the child form that called it. It doesn't look good. Is there a solution? Many thanks, Ross. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
