Apps not appearing in right task bar??

[Ian Branch 128]

Hi Team,

Win 11, D11.1.1., 32bit Apps.

I run two 4k screens, great for productivity.

I have noticed that with the Apps I create, their Task Bar icon only appears in the primary Task Bar, even though I have moved the App to the Secondary screen. :-(

With most, if not all, of the other standard Win Apps I use, the App icon moves between screen task bars as I move them from one screen to another.

Is there some Delphi or WINAPI setting I need to set?

 

Regards  TIA,

Ian

Probably this is another consequence of the fact the simplest Delphi forms app actually has two windows - one hidden for Application and one for main form. The catch is that hidden window looks main for OS.

Hmmm.  Seems I needed this..

  Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;

In the project file.

That is already set to True by default in new projects, but defaults to False in older projects migrated to newer IDEs.
