These are the default behaviors of the platforms.

This is currently your best shot (other than the dock, maybe), it's a hack that we implemented in Lazarus. Unfortunately it doesn't work perfectly, some windows are not hidden/restored correctly. Also, re-activating the application without minimizing doesn't restore windows (none but the main one). > You can also use docking manager that you can install and make Lazarus > support docking. http://wiki.freepascal.org/Docking Best regards, Flávio -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
