I have been trying to unsuccesfully create a Delphi 2.0 App which does not place a Window Button on the Taskbar. According to the Win32 Online Help, if a Window is created with the CreateWindowEx() API call (which Delphi uses) and a style of WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW is specified, a Window Button will not be created. The delphi help suggests overriding the main form's CreateParams() method so that the style is set before the Window is created. I have tried this, and while I have managed to change the style of the window, I have not been able to stop the Window Button from appearing on the taskbar<br />
<br />
Where am I going wrong?<br />
