Keeping an application minimized

Question: How can I keep my application minimized as an icon? Answer: The following example demonstrates trapping the WM_QUERYOPEN message to prevent the application from restoring from an iconized state. Note that the Window state of the form must be set to Minimized in the object inspector for this method to work. Example: type TForm1 = class(TForm) private { Private declarations } procedure WMQueryOpen(var Msg : TWMQueryOpen); message WM_QUERYOPEN; public { Public declarations } end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation {$R *.DFM} procedure TForm1.WMQueryOpen(var Msg : TWMQueryOpen); begin Msg.Result := 0; end;
