Karen, et al, I have discussed a similar issue many times with Razzak and several support people back to earlier versions of 6.5. I got hooked on the look and feel of Razzak's "Form Menus" but the problem is no ability to minimize this. Now in 6.5, i was told that this is "windows" behavior in the programming language and could not be changed, but it would be addressed in the new 7.0 in initial development at that time. In my last discussion about this with Razzak, he told me that maybe in a future version of 7.0 this could be addressed, but not in this release. I have to admit that probably for most people this isn't an issue, and I certainly understand that RBTI has more important issues to address than this, so I am going to have to wait for this enhancement. I have submitted this to RDCC, and encourage others to do the same. I KNOW it can be done - there is hope! For example, there can be multiple windows open in Lotus notes and you can minimize the whole shebang. An even better example is an Oracle based scheduling program (from Tempus Software) has a front end also written in Delphi-7 and it can be minimized with what looks like a nice form based front end. Maybe Razzak can speak more eloquently to the issue - it made a lot more sense to me when explained by him, but of course, I still want the feature!

Other Windows apps run in smaller windows, so the main menu always shows in the background. Very unprofessional. Yet when I used 'RHIDE', they didn't see any indication on the task bar that RBase was running so they wind up opening up multiple versions of the app. I know alot of people use RHIDE -- this doesn't bother your clients?<<
