I can't be much help cos I have not had the problem myself and I am new to Delphi, but
have come ideas that you may like to consider
and most "normal" people are in bed so you may have a long wait otherwise.
First - are you terminating the "thing" on the task bar? It may be that you are
making this taskbar "thing" a that has the focus
and until it is terminated.
Can you make an new application that only has one field and a button (so there are two
things that can have focus) - when you press
the button you get the taskbar thingy and then play around with popup things on that
taskbar thingy until you stumble across the one
that gives back to the main form. Don't put this action on the OnMinimise action
until you get it working with the simple "push
button" so you do not get confused about things that Windows wants to do and things
that you want to do.
And one more thing..... can you email me the thing that enables me to put something on
the taskbar - to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
Thanks.
