autohide an application?

[yoink]

Hi guys,

I've got an application that i'd like to autohide (like the windows taskbar or the office shortcut bar). Any suggestions as to how to go about doing this?

Regards,

Andrew

Call Application->Minimize in the WinMain function before the Run method is called. For example:

WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
  try
  {
    Application->Initialize();
    Application->CreateForm(__classid(TForm1), &Form1);
    Application->Minimize(); // Add this line
    Application->Run();
  }
  catch (Exception &exception)
  {
    Application->ShowException(&exception);
  }
  return 0;
}
