Windows Bar Unneccessary icons

rbuser

I have dowloaded my Update from 6.03 to 7.02 (registered user). Delphi 5
Environment

Now I am a little astonished about the many icons in the windows bar.
E.g. I open my Application so that I get it displayed in the window bar like
MyApp. Now I open the Enduser interface (No changes to before) but now I get
an icon in the windows bar like "Enduser Interface" depends how I named the
window.The I enter into the Design mode und suddenly I get the third Icon in
the Windows Bar :-(

Why? Did I made something wrong? I would be please to have only one entry in
the windows bar.

I hope I descriped this behaviour clearly.

Nicolas

We changed the behavior to work this way after it was requested by other
customers. The behavior which was not desired is when you minimize one of
these forms in 6.03- it goes above the task bar and we receive complaints
that it worked this way and that end users were confused about this behavior
that Delphi forms give them by default. So we changed them to always be
located to the task bar. You can revert the report explorer and preview form
behavior to work the way it did in RB 6.03 by replacing the forms and
registering a new descendent which does not override the CreateParams method
of the form. The RBuilder Tutorials work this way by default- the custom
preview form and custom report explorer form do not override the
CreateParams and work the way it used to in RB 6.03. Note: the designer form
cannot be replaced and you can't change the behavior for it to work the way
it used to in 6.03.
