What about simulating a task bar in your app?? I have seen a couple of apps
that do this (Eg GXExplorer) and it makes navigating rather easy. Basically
a visual windows menu.

Have you had a look at the Rx components TrxDateTime (I think). Perhaps not
as pretty as the TDateTimePicker, but it is free and the source is
followable....

Subject: [DUG]: more questions
Hopefully, a little better worded this time :)
First up:
I have an app that is multi-form, ie I do a lot of creating forms, calling
show, and leaving it (it caFree's when its closed). These windows, however,
do not show up on the task bar (ie, only 1 taskbar button per app). Is there
any known way to make them show up - and make them alt-tab-able so I can go
between windows, kind alike how Netscape does it, or IE when you have more
than one window open. Multiple apps is NOT an option.
Second up:
TDateTimePicker has to be about the most ugly and useless way to select
dates - the date selector is fine, but the edit control is, well, crap. I
want similar functionallity on a TSpeedButton (ie, drop the calendar down,
allow the user to select a date, hide it again). Anyone know how to make it
pop up, ala a pop-up menu? The source is not exactly easy to follow.
TIA.
