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 ! A.J. -- A.J.
