[DUG] Delphi - failing to minimise - think I might have the magic bit

[Mike Stokes]

Hello Phil,

To make the main form not visible on application run, you have add 
Application.ShowMainForm := false; in the dpr before calling 
Application.Run which starts the main Application Thread.

For example:

  Application.Initialize;
  Application.CreateForm(TfrmMain, frmMain);
  Application.ShowMainForm := false;
  Application.Run;

All the best,
Mike
