Program is not visible in Windows ALT+TAB
Hi,
When I start my Delphi application and press Windows ALT+TAB the app will show in the list of available application where one can jump to. But as soon as I open another form (Form2.ShowModal), than the application disappears from the ALT-TAB list.
Is there a way to solve this?

First I hoped for a workaround by code to make the toolbox window available ofr ALT+TAB, but I've decided to go for the lean and mean approach. So I changed all Toolbox forms to type Dialog.
This solved it perfectly. Thank you for sharing the solution of others, it works for me :-).

Is this a one-time only action on application-level or needs this to be done for every (new) toolwindow?
Changing the registry result in ALT-TAB in the old Windows XP-stype which is not the desired outcome.
