I have a monitoring application written in Delphi 7 that runs on part of a secondary monitor. I'd like to have it restore itself to normal visibility if the window gets minimized (for example if I use the the "Windows-D" (view desktop) command on the main monitor)
I tried this code activated by a timer every few seconds:
if (Mainform.WindowState <> wsNormal ) then
Mainform.WindowState := wsNormal; {restore main window if minimized}
It doesn't work. To debug it, I changed the code to log the value of Mainform.WindowState to a file as the program is running. The value remains wsNormal even when the main form's window is minimized. Why?
