[DUG] Delphi programs and Vista

[John Bird]

A few observations running (D2007) delphi programs under Vista - anyone shed any light?

1 - When the mouse is on the task bar icon,  Sometimes Vista will show a thumbnail of the form, sometimes just a blank thumbnail with the program icon in it.  This relates to Delphi programs having an invisible "real" main form.  But Vista does often get the thumbnail display right with the actual form contents showing - why?

2 - The default Deplhi Vista form colour is a grey (clBtnFace) .....can this be tweaked?

3 - The IDE often shows 2 icons in the task bar.   I learnt the hard way not to close the one that looks like its doing nothing  (it closes the whole IDE shooting box).

4 - Programs I have written that get a UAC confirmation/prompt to run - are there any ways to turn this off?

5 - Such programs that require a UAC confirmation will not run in the IDE, so cannot be debugged.  Any solution?
