bsSizeToolWin & bsToolWindow

(1/1)

anna:
I have 2-form application. For Form2's Create method I've written next code:

--- Code: ---procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ParentWindow:=GetDesktopWindow;
end;  
--- End code ---
It don't work if Form2's BorderStyle property set to bsSizeToolWin or bsToolWindow.
Why? How to make own 'windowstaskbar button' for bsSizeToolWin?

I mean that for my second form I need such button like this:

and my second form must be toolwindow. How to do that?




And I use snapshot:
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/Lazarus-0.9.29-27041-fpc-2.4.0-20100809-win32.exe

It's seems Bill Gates' gotcha.

In my Lazarus I don't have ParentWindow property. I use Lazarus  0.9.28.3 Beta Svn 26768

ParentWindow appears as from Lazarus-0.9.29
Here is hint for it:

I have some question. Do you have TForm.ShowInTaskBar property in your Lazarus? I have both ShowInTaskBar and ParentWindow in my Lazarus-0.9.29, but I don't understand difference between:
form2.ShowInTaskBar:=stAlways;
                     and
ParentWindow:=GetDesktopWindow;
