Hi All.
If you remember last week I was on about plugins.
Well I have ended up using the TMaxPluginLoader controls which are quite
good, and free :-)
Anyway, the plugins are basically DLL's but with soe nice tricks thrown

BUT, I have a problem that is not just common to these controls.

We have an MDI app where most of our forms are maximised. When the user
opens a non maximised child Windows automatically changes all other forms
to
non maximised and reduces their size. Does anyone know how to get around
this behaviour?

Hi,
I have some MDI forms in my application. I am drawing shapes
on these forms and they are redrawing correctly. What I cannot

How should I do this?

Hi All
Well we are now in a pickle.
We have an application with over 70 forms which are distributed as packages,
form size ~80K. At runtime the main executable performs a loadpackage on the

In doing so I discovered the following problem running the application under

What is the easiest way to make sure that your whole app only gets one icon
in the taskbar and when you minimise second and third etc forms that the

We use them extensively. From our point of view (accounting software) MDI
provides a simple way to group zillions of different forms into one
umbrella that is simply managed and easy to understand by the users.

One thing I like about MDI is that you can seperate out database connections
from the main forms OnCreate/OnShow routine easier, one example I once saw
used MDI, but only ever had one MDI child which was always maximised, I like

What I've been doing is
procedure TForm1.CreateForm2BtnClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
if not assigned(Form2) then
Form2 := TForm2.Create(Application);
Form2.ManualDock(Form1,nil,alClient);
Form2.Visible := True;

Looks like SDI but much more manageable designing,

go there to tile or cascade anyway.

I use MDI for all my apps, the only serious problme is the
maximising of the child...its easy to fix, none of your forms have a
maximise button. There are other trivial problems that we have
fixed in one place by subclassing forms.

Why does opening a non-maximised MDI Child form over top of a
maximised MDI Child form cause the maximised one to de-maximise?
How do I stop this behaviour from happening?
Is it possible that it is something to do with the MDI parent
not liking its children in assorted states??

Okay, this is probably a stupid newbie question but I can't find an answer
for it.
I've got a MDI application running with a few MDI child forms maximised, I
need a modal box to appear and then simply return. I basically just create
the form then do a showmodal on it:
