That's all I've tried, windowstate in the object inspector. Bear in mind I've 
never actually USED delphi. I first learned a bit GUI programming in Java 
around 5 years ago before then I had spent about 10 years doing nothing more 
GUI than ncurses :p
I got sick of java FAST ! 

So I actually wrote the freepascal support for tcl/tk and maintained it for 
some time (nobody else seemed very interested though) so I stopped bothering, 
haven't actually even looked at that code for about 3 years. Anyway, at that 
point I had no use for doing any GUI programming in my career that couldn't 
be handled by the odd bit of SDL.

Things changed and suddenly the same job was involving a LOT of GUI coding, so 
I studied the principles of it. When it came to actually using a language 
though, I opted for the one I knew best (pascal based, been using it since I 
was 9 years old after all) and chose Lazarus. Been doing that ever since.

Effectively though, what I know about how to actually CODE GUI's I learned 
from using a delphi book and playing with lazarus by myself. Oh and 
constantly reading this mailing list !
