"WindowState:=wsMinimized; " bizarre

[anna]

I use Lazarus-0.9.29-26562-fpc-2.4.0-20100710-win32.exe
My operating system is WinXP SP3.
So.
I put on form Button1 and wrote this into handler:

Code: [Select]

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  WindowState:=wsMinimized;
end;    Then compile.
When I press Button1, my application minimizes. But when I press  taskbar button of my minimized application, it maximize into stupid small window title, glued to the taskbar Start Button:

Well, how to minimize form correct? I mean mininmization must imitate human click on Minimize.

Try this:

Code: [Select]

Application.Minimize;

Try this:

Code: [Select]

Application.Minimize;

I have tried Application.Minimize; ,but in 10 cases out of hundred it fail.
Is there another way?

What does it mean "it fails"?

I've tried over 10 times and has not failed any time.

I've tried over 10 times and has not failed any time.

I have very many processes running at the same time. And sometimes Application.Minimize; don't have any effect. Mayby there's no enough memory. I don't know such nuance.
And sometimes Application.Minimize does not attract to OnWindowStateChange event.
Nevertheless, is there another way?

Where are developers? Why WindowState:=wsMinimized; doesn't work correct? Is it bug?

It's not a bug. Lazarus acts in Delphi compatible way.

please use Application.Minimize. If it's failing, please provide reproducible bug report.

Try to use Application.ProcessMessages after minimizing.
