Who's Idea was it?  
News Group: borland.public.delphi.ide.general

Who's idea was it to change a forms property to wsMinimized when the Form 
was minimized while working in the IDE?

Without embedded designer, pressing F12 does indeed swap between code and 
Form, but it still allows the form to cover up the other IDE Windows.  So in 
order to see them, you have to minimize the Form.  Well, someone had the 
great idea to change the form's property as well.

Man, Code Gear, you gotta fix this stuff.  I have to add to all my Form 
Create Routines the proper way to display forms because the IDE will NOT 
leave them alone !!!!


The Proper FIX would be:
1) When pressing F12, Bring the form in front of all the IDE Windows, when 
Pressing F12 again, put the Form behind ALL the IDE Windows.

2) When Minimizing a Form or moving it around, Leave the Form's properties 
ALONE unless it's set to asDesigned.

Sorry, but getting a little Fed up with it.  How many years have we had 
decent IDE's that could properly minimize and maximize then since 2005 it 
all got stupid.

For the IDE,  i think its legal and correct
to leave a minimized form minimized on runtime.

	I'll take a shot at it:

Here lies a man in solitude
Full of sin and stuffed with food
We buried him outside 
Because we thought he died

Anyway, minimizing is so stupid....

You will preffer a preview rather than a bar ...even if the preview is a 
bar...!

Sometimes it's very interesting to me, to find out the (cultural...) 
background behind footers or other stuff in other languages. The given 
footer was such a case, I found it amusing myself, even before your 
question :-)

Danny,

Rhyming not a problem.

Thanks!

Hans,

| You (or your spellchecker) seem to confuse "verrückt" (crazy) and 
| "verreckt" (perished, dead).

Yep!

| IMO "smart" also should be "fat".

That's what I first thought.  But couldn't reconcile the idea with
"crazy." 

(I only have an English <=> Deutsch dictionary.  The kind you hold in
your hand, thumb through the pages, and read. )

| Otherwise you got it quite well, for a non-German-speaker ;-)

  Thanks.  I'll try to do a tad better next time.  ;-)
