chengjian,
Take a look at the last line of my suggestion #2:

A caveat:
You can make a formless application. Then you may wish to use a Windows API function that requires you to pass the handle of the calling application (ie. your app). Normally this is the handle of the parent window - Application.Handle. You don't have a parent window, so what do you pass?
I don't have a solution to this one as yet.

Well, for once, you can pass NULL/NIL/0, whatever, if the command is not directed at your application (i.e., it's supposed to be OK if you're just supposed to get some info in a structure, or make windows itself do something).
Plus, as much as I understand, you can also pass the application's handle, Application.Hanlde (of course), or even the required object's handle.
Anyone else?

Yeah, spelling mistake there. Application.Handle (again, of course).
This question was awarded, but never cleared due to the JSP-500 errors of that time. It was "stuck" against userID -1 versus the intended expert whom you awarded. This corrects the problem and the expert will now receive these points; points verified.
