Yes I've tried setting ShowMainForm := False; as well as changing
the order of commands in the dpr and MainForm, but nothing will even allow
the MainForm to be created as an invisible form unless I actually set it to
a transparent color along with no borders, icons, titlebar, controls, etc.
All which worked fine in D2007. At this point I am today going to try
commenting out the Splash form from the dpr and call it manually after the
MainForm is created to see if that helps. I'd swear when I first started
writing this app and before adding the Splash form that it had behaved as it
should. I'll let you know if that works.
As for the MessageDlg, I first wrote it using the D2009 version of
GExperts with Delphi's default AnsiStrings. Then I ripped that out and
called Dialogs expressly within the Dlg code with and without a default
button within a case statement as I always have. The dialog appears as and
when it should, along with the correct buttons and the default set, but no
text! The same is now happening with a simple ShowMessage!
As I mentioned earlier, the TMS buttons are also not working
correctly. In order to get a caption and/or image to show you must set them
as separate and additional properties within the button itself even though
they are connected to and work with Action Items! And then the images
aren't properly masked!
Finally, and though Ctrl-Shift-U does what it should using the
classic or default IDE settings, Ctrl-Shift-I doesn't do nada! I've set my
tabs to 4 spaces but they go for 5 unless there's a line of code directly
above it already at 4 spaces indent. And if I have a begin/end pair, with
no delimiter ';' after the end and hit Return, I get another end that I
always have to delete!
The IDE seems fast, even with together running, but problems like
these are starting to get a little irritating!

"...There no longer exists any communities...only special Interests." as
remarked by one Photojournalist and Writer in relation to the infamous
'Mapplethorp trial' of Cinncinate. I'm happy to know why this is true and
the protection it provides everyone from 1st amendment rights
violations...escpecially those in L.A. and Seattle!
As for New York, it's difficult to get worked up over a conglomerate of
special interests such as it represents, when opposition to every one and
every thing not their own has become its most apparent trait and appalling
attribute!

Have you tried setting Application.ShowMainForm to false as well? What
have you tried.

How are we supposed to help if you don't give us any information. Have
you tried in a sample application? What have you tried. It'd be a
pretty big issue if the message dialog function failed for everyone.
What does your method call look like?
