 Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2003 11:14 am Post subject: Minimizing An Application |
 |
|
I have an application that has a main form and several other forms. When the
user minimizes one of the other forms (not the main form), I want to call
Application.Minimize to minimize the whole application. How do I detect in a
form that it's been minimized?

Try this :-
procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
If IsIconic(Application.Handle) Then
Self.Caption := 'Minimized'
Else
Self.Caption := 'Normal';
Application.Title := Self.Caption;
end;

Take a look at TCustomeForm.WMSysCommand. It checks the message code for
sc_Minimize and forwards the message to Application instead of letting
the default handler minimize the form.

I should read the post more carefully |
This is a cludge - but it seems to work
procedure TForm2.FormDeactivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
If Self.WindowState = wsMinimized Then
Application.Minimize ;
end;

ENOSUCHMETHOD. You must have a different Delphi version than I (that
is, D>5).
From the form of the method name, I infer that you mean the message
handler for WM_SYSCOMMAND. Be careful, message handlers are indexed
on message, not on name. There is only a _convention_ for the name.
